Abstract: The miscibility of three polymethacrylates with poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) (SAN) has been studied. Poly(n-propyl methacrylate) is miscible with SAN copolymers having acrylonitrile contents between 9 mass % and 24 mass %, but poly(n-butyl methacrylate) and poly(n-octyl methacrylate) are immiscible with SAN. It was confirmed that the width of the miscibility window decreases with increasing size of the pendant alkyl group of the polymethacrylate.
