Poly(styrene‐co‐acrylonitrile)(SAN) and poly(α‐methyl styrene‐co‐acrylonitrile)(MSAN) are miscible with poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) and with poly(2‐hydroxypropyl methacrylate) (PHPMA). That SAN and MSAN are immiscible with poly( n ‐propyl methacrylate) and with poly(isopropyl methacrylate) but miscible with PHPMA indicates the enhancement of polymer miscibility due to hydroxyl groups. The miscibility of these blends is explained in terms of recent theories for copolymer/homopolymer blends.
