We have developed a model that describes the phase behavior of blends where there are hydrogen bonds between the components. The parameters used in this model are determined by infrared spectroscopic studies. Recently, we have found interesting differences between parameters determined for low molecular weight model systems, blends and random copolymers of units containing identical functional groups. This can be interpreted in terms of the relative proportions of intra and inter-chain contacts and this, in turn, has a number of ramifications concerning models used to describe phase behavior.
