The nature of thermodynamic interactions in plasticized semicrystalline materials has a profound effect on the rheological properties. In this work we investigated the effect of mixing thermodynamics on the linear and nonlinear rheological properties of plasticized poly(vinyl chloride). The stress‐dependent creep compliance has been modeled in terms of stress, temperature, concentration, and thermodynamic interaction strength.
