MISCIBILITY OF POLY(VINYL CHLORIDE) WITH CHITIN DERIVATIVES HAVING POLY(2-METHYL-2-OXAZOLINE) SIDE-CHAINS
Binary blends of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and chitin-graft-poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) showed miscibility in the blend fraction range of the latter lower than ca. 10 wt.-%. The glass transition temperature of PVC, which was determined by differential scanning calorimetry, changed to lower temperatures with increasing modified chitin contents up to 10 wt.-%. Segmental interaction between PVC and the graft copolymer was confirmed by the carbonyl stretching band shift in the FT-IR analysis.
