Poly(N-Phenyl-2-Hydroxytrimethylene Amine) - Its Blends with Poly(Epsilon-Caprolactone) and Water-Soluble Polyethers
A new polymer with pendant hydroxyl groups, namely, poly(N-phenyl-2-hydroxytrimethylene amine) (PHA), was synthesized by a direct condensation polymerization of aniline and epichlorohydrin in an alkaline medium. The new polymer is amorphous with a glass transition temperature (T-g) of 70 degrees C. Blends of PHA with poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL), as well as with two water-soluble polyethers, poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME), were prepared by casting from a common solvent. It was found that all the three blends were miscible and showed a single, composition dependent glass transition temperature (T-g). FTIR studies revealed that PHA can form hydrogen bonds with PCL, PEO, and PVME, which are driving forces for the miscibility of the blends.
