Viscometric Study of PC / PEG blends in THF solvent and Gamma-Rays Effect on the Viscosity of PC
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this research the intermolecular interaction between polycarbonate (PC) and polyethyleneglycol (PEG) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent was studied, at 25˚C using a dilute solution viscometry method (DSV).
The reduced viscosity and intrinsic viscosity and viscosity interaction parameter (b) were experimentally measured, we also discuss the compatility of a polymer mixture in terms of , and the effect of gamma-rays on the reduced viscosity and intrinsic viscosity and Huggins constant of (PC). The results show that the relation between and C is liner within C=(0.9-2)g/dl, and viscometric constant KH decreases with irradiation time while increases with Tirr.
