Abstract

Crystalline stereocomplexes of highly stereoregular isotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) (it-PMMA) and syndiotacitc poly(methyl methacrylate) (st-PMMA) blends formed by treatment with supercritical CO₂ were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements as a function of PMMA molecular weight. The rates of stereocomplex formation obtained with supercritical CO₂ treatment were faster than those obtained by thermal treatment. The higher rates of stereocomplex formation can be attributed to the plasticizing effect of CO₂ molecules in the PMMA. The heat of melting of the stereocomplex (ΔH) decreased with increasing PMMA molecular weight and was found to be independent of it-PMMA and st-PMMA mixing ratio. For the case of it-PMMA/st-PMMA of 1:1, the stereocomplexes obtained by thermal and CO₂ treatment had two endothermic peaks. The relative intensity of the second endothermic peak (ΔH₃/ΔH) decreased with increasing PMMA molecular weight and showed stronger dependence on it-PMMA molecular weight than on the st-PMMA molecular weight.
