摘要
The influence of molecular structure and characteristics of an uncrystallized rubbery second component (ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR) and poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc)) on the melt miscibility, phase structure, morphology, thermal and crystallization behaviour of blends based on poly(D(-)-3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and optical microscopy. PHB and EPR are immiscible in the melt, whereas PHB and PVAc are compatible. Consequently PHB-PVAc blends show a single glass transition and a drastic depression of equilibrium melting temperature of PHB. Conflicting results are obtained when the Flory-Huggins and Kwei-Frisch equations are used to describe and analyse this melting-point depression.
