Abstract: The effects of deuterium labeling on polymer-polymer interactions are readily observable in highly immiscible polymer blends. The deuterium labeling is often used to characterize phenomena such as polymer blending and reactive compatibilization, improved understanding and predictive capabilities into the effects of deuterium labeling are technologically relevant.
