ResumoThe blends of poly(styrene)/poly(vinyl acetate) (PS/PVAC) with various compositions were prepared by solution blending technique using methyl ethyl ketone as solvent. The viscosities of the blend solutions were measured and compared with theoretically calculated values. The ternary polymers-solvent systems were found to be miscible. The blends were characterized by FT-IR and thermal studies. The evidence for the interaction between polymeric phases in blends was obtained from FT-IR analysis. The blends under study exhibited improved thermal stability.
