Polyethyloxazoline (PEO x ) blends with several other thermoplastic polymers were examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for miscibility. Styrene/acrylonitrile (SAN) copolymers having compositions in the range of about 20–40% acrylonitrile (AN) by weight were found to be miscible with PEO x whereas SANs outside this range were not. The polyhydroxyl ether of bisphenol A (Phenoxy) was also found to be miscible with PEO x . A vinylidene chloride copolymer (Saran) was found to be partially miscible with PEO x , whereas poly(methyl methacrylate) and polycarbonate were not miscible at all.
