- Abstract
- The phase behavior of a partially miscible blend of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) and the crystalline microstructure of PEO in the blend were studied with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), optical microscopy, and synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) methods. PEO/CAB showed a lower critical solution temperature (LOST) of 168 C at the critical composition of PEO of 60 wt %. All blend compositions showed a single glass-transition temperature (T-g) when they were prepared at temperatures lower than the LOST. However, with increasing CAB content, T-g of the blend changed abruptly at 70 wt % CAB; that is, a cusp existed. Below 70 wt % CAB, the change in T-g with blend composition was predicted by the Brau-Kovacs equation, whereas this change was predicted by the Fox equation at higher CAB contents. A gradual but small depression of the melting point of PEO in the blend with an increasing amount of CAB suggested that the PEO/CAB blends exhibited a weak intermolecular interaction. From DSC and SAXS experiments, it was found that amorphous CAB was incorporated into the interlamellar region of PEO for blends with less than 20 wt % CAB, whereas it was segregated to exist in the interfibrillar region in PEO for other blends with larger amounts of CAB.
