Poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide)-poly(6-hexanelactam) diblock copolymers were prepared from low-molecular weight poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) by transforming its phenolic end groups via the reaction with 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate and 6-hexanelactam to polymeric initiators and the subsequent anionic polymerization of 6-hexanelactam. The polymerization of 6-hexanelactam was carried out in bulk or toluene solution. The content of the 6-hexanelactam homopolymer was estimated by TLC showing that the pure diblock copolymer can be prepared in toluene. The reason for relatively low yields is discussed.

The miscibility of starch and poly(ethyleneglycol) (PEG)blends in water were investigated by viscosity, densityand refractive index studies. The physical interactionparameters like poly-solvent and blend-solvent have beencalculated using viscosity and density data. Starch/PEGblends were found to be miscible in all studied ratios. Thestudy also revealed that variation of temperature does notaffect the miscibility of starch and PEG blends in theaqueous solution significantly. The miscibility occurs dueto presence of hydroxyl-hydroxyl interactions in theblends. The result obtained reveals that PEG can beeffectively used as gelating agent in starch solution.Keywords: Miscibility, viscosity, polymer interaction, starch, PEG
