Miscibility studies of epoxy/unsaturated polyester resin blend in chloroform by viscosity, ultrasonic velocity, and refractive index methods

Abstract

Abstract Miscibility studies of blends of epoxy with unsaturated polyester resin in chloroform were carried out by viscosity, ultrasonic velocity, and refractive methods at 30°C. By using viscosity data, the interaction parameters were computed, which indicated that epoxy/unsaturated polyester resin blends were miscible. The miscibility was further confirmed by the ultrasonic velocity and refractive index methods. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 89: 2970–2972, 2003
