Miscibility, Morphology and Crystallization Behavior of Poly(Butylene Succinate-co-Butylene Adipate)/Poly(Vinyl Phenol)/Poly(l-Lactic Acid) Blends.

Amorphous poly(vinyl phenol) (PVPh) is introduced into poly(butylene succinate--butylene adipate)/poly(l-lactic acid) (PBSA/PLLA) blends via solution casting. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis verifies that intermolecular hydrogen bonding formed in PBSA/PVPh/PLLA blends. The miscibility between PBSA and PLLA is improved with PVPh incorporation as evidenced by approaching s of the two components.
