Miscibility Study of Polymer Blends Composed of Polyethylenimine, Polyethyleneglycol, and Carboxymethyl Chitosan

Article Preview

Abstract:

Miscibility of ternary polymer blends composed of poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) was investigated by dilute-solution viscometry, FTIR spectrum, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques. The results of these measurements indicate that PEG is immiscible in the ternary CMCS/PEI/PEG polymer blend.
