Abstract: | The miscibility and crystallization behavior of the blends of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and ethylene/vinyl acetate(20/80) copolymer (EVAc80) have been studied using a differential scanning calorimeter and a polarizing microscope equipped with a heating stage. From the melting point depression, the values of interaction energy densityB were calculated to be −1.3004 (cal/cm3) and the Flory-Huggins interaction parameterχ 12 was found to be −0.0818 at 445.6 K. With increasing concentration of EVAc80, the radial growth rate of spherulite was reduced drastically. The FT-IR analysis of samples quenched from the melt to various temperatures showed increasing content ofβ-phase with increasing amount of blended EVA80 along with lower quenching temperature. |
