PHASE BEHAVIOR IN POLY ETHYLENE CO-VINYL ALCOHOL BLENDS WITH SOLVATING POLYMERS

by Keskin, Sevgul

Abstract (Summary)

The main objective of this study is to show the effects of hydrogen bonding on the phase behavior of Poly-ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol (pEVOH), para-Poly-vinyl-pyridine (pVPy), Poly-nbutyl-methacrylate (pBMA) ternary polymer blends by using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy - Attenuated Total Reflectance (FTIR/ATR). FTIR/ATR provides rapid and accurate IR capability through the averaging process made possible by Fourier Transform scanning.
