The miscibility behavior of the blends of polysulfone (PSf) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was studied in dilute 1,2- dichloroethane solutions at 25 0C. The intrinsic viscosity and Huggins’ parameter of the binary mixtures were determined from the intercept and slope of the linear straight line between specific viscosity and the overall polymer concentration at the studied compositions. From experimental results of the intrinsic viscosities of the mixtures, some miscibility parameters b , b , b , Δ[η] and β were obtained by applying the criteria proposed by the research groups Krigbaum and Wall, Catsiff and Hewett, Garcia et al. and Jiang and Han, respectively. The miscibility of mixtures was also studied by using differential scanning calorimetry and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
