The ternary blends of poly(methyl methacrylate)/poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)/poly(ethylene oxide), PMMA/PVP/PEO, were prepared by melting process, using a Haake plastograph, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) was used as a methodology to characterize the molecular mobility of blend components, because NMR has several techniques that allow us to evaluate polymeric materials in different time scales. The NMR results showed that the blends were miscible on a molecular level. The values of proton lattice relaxation time in the rotating frame (T 1 ρH) indicate that the ternary blend interaction did not reduce the intermolecular distance, because it is dipole–dipole. The molecular motion of each component, even in the miscible amorphous phase and the addition of PEO, has a definitive effect on the PMMA molecular mobility. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
