A thermostimulated creep study of blends of poly(vinyl chloride) and chlorinated polyethylene

Abstract
Thermally stimulated creep measurements have been carried out on polyvinylchloride and on blends of polyvinylchloride with chlorinated polyethylenes of various chlorine distributions. Global spectra show that the two polymers are immiscible. However, a fine structure study of the spectra shows that some degree of compatibility exists in samples blended with randomly and commercially chlorinated polyethylenes. The same analysis leads to the conclusion that the sample blended with blocky chlorinated polyethylene is segregated into incompatible chlorinated polyethylene and polyvinylchloride phases.
