Abstract The objective of this research was to study the structure‐property relationships of two poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)–poly(butadiene‐co‐acrylonitrile) (BAN) blends which exhibit differences in blend compatibility. Studies were carried out utilizing differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical testing, stress–strain, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and infrared dichroism experiments at different temperatures. The BAN 31/PVC (BAN containing 31% acrylonitrile) system is considered to be nearly compatible as evidenced by T g shifts, stress–strain results, orientation characteristics, and TEM micrographs. Similar experiments indicate that the BAN 44/PVC system is incompatible, and contains a mixed phase of BAN 44‐PVC and a pure BAN 44 phase. The extent of heterogeneity in the compatible BAN 31/PVC system, however, plays an important role in the orientation characteristics of the blends.
