Abstract

The effect of compressibility on the static scattering from polymer mixtures is critically evaluated through a general thermodynamic analysis. We find that compressibility plays an important role for blends comprised of chains with disparate chemical structures, and that it is effectively irrelevant for blends with similar chemical structures.
