Abstract
An evolutive fitting method has been devoted to fit the most usual equatrons that predict Tg vs. composition behavior of polymer blends. This method has been compared and tested vs. two “more traditional” fitting methods. Tg vs. composition results of poly(4-hydroxystyrene) and its blends with poly(methyl acrylate), poly(ethyl acrylate), and poly(vinyl acetate) have been analyzed in terms of different equations.
