XRD STUDY OF BINARY POLYMER BLEND OF PMMA/PVAC

Blending polymers is an economic method to develop new polymeric materials. Commonly, the final properties of the blend depend on the properties of its polymeric components, its composition, and mainly on the miscibility of the polymers. Poly(methyl-methacrylate) and Poly(Vinyl Acetate) are very useful polymers in everyday life. A binary blend of PMMA/PVAc was prepared by solution casting techniques using chloroform as a solvent. The blend system was characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). X-ray diffraction patterns of binary blends of different composition were studied and discussed in this study.
