Question: You are an engineer at SABIC working with amorphous, high molecular weight poly ( 2 , 5 - dimethyl phenylene oxide ) ( PPO )

You are an engineer at SABIC working with amorphous, high molecular weight poly(2,5-
dimethyl phenylene oxide)(PPO) that has a Tg=215C, which is too high for processing.
You suggest blending in polystyrene (PS,Tg=100C) as a plasticizer, what weight % is
necessary to achieve a target Tg=150C? Is this reasonable? What might you do to lower
the amount of plasticizer needed?
