Abstract
The hole theory of pure polymer liquid previously developed by the author is extended to be applicable to polymer mixtures. The theory is applied to some mixture systems, and close agreement with experimental observations is obtained in the thermal pressure coefficients of mixtures of low-molecular weight substances, surface tensions of molten ethylene-vinylacetate copolymers with different compositions, and diluent effects on the glass transition temperatures of polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate).
