Abstract
The Ï-values were negative for all blends, indicating favorable interaction between the two polymers. The minimum Ï-values were found around 0.6-0.7 mass fraction of PMVE-MA, which agrees well with experimental viscosity results (this work), which indicated optimum interaction around 0.7 mass fraction PMVE-MA. These results confirm that molecular dynamics can be used as a tool for investigating interpolymer complexation phenomena.
