Specific interactions and phase behavior of poly(2-vinylpridine)/bisphenol blends
Hydrogen-bonding interaction and miscibility between poly(2-vinylpyrdine) (P2VPy) and five bisphenols are studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSc), and wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). It is found that the miscibility behavior strongly depends on the flexibility of the bisphenol molecules.
