Abstract This work demonstrates a novel simple method to study the accurate real time optical transparency of a crosslinked polymer blend during its swelling in good solvent. Heterogeneous natural rubber (NR) and poly (ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) blends were used for this experiment. Aromatic solvents such as benzene, toluene and xylene were used as the probe molecules. Optical transparency of the samples increases with increase in EVA content in the blends during swelling. The penetrant solvent molecular size also affects the optical transparency of the blends. This new method can effectively measure the optical transparency of polymer gels during their swelling. Also, these blends can be a promising material for optical switching.

The relative charge of the internal energy, fU/f, during deformation of cross-linked elastomers, poly(ethylene-co-propylene) and poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate), was determined at various temperatures. Anomalies in the dependence of fU/f on relative dilatation in the region of small deformations ( 35%) are to a large extent besides other factors due to the sensibility of the formula used to calculate fU/f to temperature changes.

A series of poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol)/poly(ε-caprolactone) blends with different compositions were prepared using solvent casting. The miscibility of this pair of polymers was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and proved by a negative Flory interaction parameter value calculated from the Nishi–Wang equation. The miscibility of this blend was also confirmed by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). The thermal behaviors of the obtained materials were investigated by DSC, thermogravimetric analysis, and direct analysis in real-time–time-of-flight mass spectrometry and the results obtained were very relevant. Furthermore, the crystalline properties of the obtained materials were studied by DSC and X-ray diffraction where the Ozawa approach was adopted to investigate the non-isothermal crystallization kinetics. The results obtained revealed that this approach described the crystallization process well.
