ABSTRACT
As discussed in Chapter 1, the Nobel laureate P. Flory alluded to possible favorable interactions among “polar substituents” leading to polymer-polymer miscibility. Polar interactions can be referred to as Keesom forces. When the polar interactions are between dipoles and induced dipoles they are called Debye forces. When both interaction forces are due to induced dipoles they are called London forces. Keesom is when the interactions are due to dipoles and dipole ab initio. When Keesom forces become strong enough they lead to the formation of hydrogen bonds.
