摘要: Oil epoxies can be used as plasticizers in the processing of hard polymers. For this purpose dehydrated castor oil epoxy (DCOE), a product from sustainable resource, has been chosen for blending with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) to investigate compatibility blend pair. Blends DCOE/PMMA were prepared weight ratios 80/20, 60/40, 40/60, and 20/80 through solution method by mixing dimethylsulphoxide. Free-standing films cast miscibility two components was investigated viscosity ultrasonic measurements, which provided valuable information on degree pairs blends solution. The also examined differential scanning calorimetry electron microscopy. All studies revealed that DCOE immiscible PMMA. However, appearance texture not found show any visible change over several months, indicates stability system. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 100: 3094–3100,
