The barrier properties of the PP/EVOH extruded blends were predicted using a hybrid diffusion model that takes into account the morphology of the blends.
The modulus and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of polypropylene-based nanocomposites and blends were predicted using various composite theories and compared to experimental results.
Both blends of PEO with HMA-MMA and EHMA-MMA showed UCST-type miscibility although homopolymer blends PEO/PMMA were predicted to be of LCST-type.
Equations were produced to enable interaction coefficients of different plasticizer blends to be predicted.
The results shown in Tables 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 suggest that the rheological properties of the blends can be predicted by two useful factors and there is no significant difference between both calculated and experimental data.
Furthermore, the Tgs of the blends could be predicted by either of the Gordon–Taylor equation (with K=0.99) or the Fox equation with a slightly higher deviation.
Using Bagley's approach, the composition of a blend with synergy is predicted.
The flammability behaviour of a blend fabric cannot be predicted from the flammability characteristics of its component fibers because of the physical or chemical interaction of the thermal degradation products of the blend during heating or combustion.
Blend complex viscosities can be predicted using Lecyar's mixing rule.
Thermodynamic properties of the anomaly blend of phenolic and phenoxy were predicted by the Painter-Coleman Association Model.
