TY - JOUR AU - Hu, Jing AB - A thermally stimulated current (TSC) was used to study the relaxation of polystyrene (PS), the ethylene–propylene diene monomer (EPDM), and the grafted copolymer of EPDM with styrene (EPDM‐g‐St). The effect of the measuring conditions on the relaxation of PS is discussed. Some relaxation parameters of PS, EPDM, and EPDM‐g‐St were calculated in two different ways. In addition, the TSC spectra of PS/EPDM and PS/EPDM‐g‐St showed that PS/EPDM was an immiscible system, but there existed a special interaction between the plastic phase and the rubber one in PS/EPDM‐g‐St blends. The compatibility of PS blends was evaluated in terms of their compositions. The results of inverse gas chromatography (IGC) agreed well with those of the TSC measurements. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
