摘要
Molecular simulations of poly(vinyl phenol)/poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVPh/PVME) blends were performed and their degree of miscibility evaluated as a preliminary step before orientation simulations. A minimum of three periodic boundary condition amorphous models was constructed and analysed in terms of solubility parameter, X-ray pattern, pair correlation function, hydrogen bond fraction and backbone conformation. The values obtained are consistent with miscibility of the systems, although it is suggested that the degree of mixing is not uniform for the different models. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.
