description

Abstract Empirical equations defining the relationships between b23 and χ23 interaction parameters for the ternary systems toluene (1)/poly(dimethylsiloxane), PDMS, (2)/polystyrene, PS, (3) and benzene (1)/PDMS(2)/PS(3) have been determined. The dependences of both interaction parameters on the mean molecular weights of the macromolecular components have also been studied. A single dependence of b23 (or χ23) upon the mean molecular weight is found when both polymeric components have intermediate to high molecular weights. However, that single dependence is not found when the molecular size of polymer (2) is low.
