Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Copolymers of methyl acrylate (MA) with an electron-donor comonomer (N-vinylcarbazole) (NVC) are mixed with copolymers of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with a electron-acceptor comonomer (2-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl) oxyethyl methacrylate) (DNBM) such that 1:1 mol ratios of NVC:DNBM are present at all times. The blends obtained are phase separated up to an average of 27 mol% donor/acceptor structural unit in the copolymer. Above 27 mol% “perturbation”, poly(MA) and poly(MMA) become compatible.
