Abstract:

The dynamic viscoelasticity of poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)/poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydirde)(SMA) blends in the molten state was investigated. The apparent phase separation was marked by a change in slope of the storage modulus and the occurrence of a peak in the loss tangent as a function of temperature. It was found that the apparent phase separation temperatures are strongly dependent on the frequency applied. The phase separation temperature obtained through extrapolation to zero frequency was lower than the cloud point by turbidity method.

Key words: Poly(methyl methacrylate)/poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) blends; Dynamic rheological behavior; Phase separation
