Miscibility studies of blends of epoxy with unsaturated polyester resin in chloroform were carried out by viscosity, ultrasonic velocity, and refractive methods at 30°C. By using viscosity data, the interaction parameters were computed, which indicated that epoxy/unsaturated polyester resin blends were miscible. The miscibility was further confirmed by the ultrasonic velocity and refractive index methods. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 89: 2970–2972, 2003
