Abstract: The miscibility and aggregation structure of P(HB-co-HV)/PVPh blends have been investigated by DSC, FTIR, 13C NMR, WAXD, SAXS. The results show that the intermolecular hydrogen bonding formed between the components makes the blends completely miscible in the whole composition range in the melt state. The solid state 13C NMR results show that the blend of P(HB-co-HV)/PVPh(50/50)mixed on a scale smaller than 3.4 nm. The SAXS results show that the long periods of the blends increase with the increase of PVPh content, indicating that the amorphous PVPh was dispersed between the lamellae forming the amorphous part with amorphous P(HB-co-HV).
