Abstract
Blends of head to head polyisobutylene and amorphous head to tail polyisobutylene were prepared by casting films of the polymer mixtures from o-dichlorobenzene. The glass transition behavior of the polymer blends was studied by DSC analysis. Two glass transition temperatures were observed over almost the entire composition range which indicates that the two structurally similar head to tail and head to head polyisobutylenes are not miscible even in the molecular weight range of 3000 to 5000.
