Abstract
Infrared spectra in conjunction with calorimetric measurements have been used to follow the crystallization process and microstructural changes of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) in poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blends. We have given particular attention to compositions containing low PEO concentrations. The crystallization behavior and the resultant microstructures of PEO are strongly perturbed by the presence of PMMA. In addition, we found phase separation and trans sequences of PEO to be present, especially at low PEO concentrations.Keywords
