摘要: Abstract This paper analyzes the miscibility state of Poly(L-Lactide) (PLLA) and Poly(DL-Lactide) (PDLLA) with Poly(styrene) (PS) Poly(vinyl phenol) (PVPh) by means Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations performed using COMPASS force-field. Immiscibility was found in polylactide/PS blends while result polylactide/PVPh blends, both previsions agreeing experimental behaviour. The values calculated for Flory-Huggins interaction parameter, χ, have been compared results estimations based on existing models. Even though dependence χ composition prediction is correct, solubility parameters obtained prove that molecular modelling tends to underestimate strength interactions. observed differences are explained terms absence cooperativity effects oligomeric chains used high weight polymer blends.
