The surface tensions of a series of miscible polymer blends were measured using a modified Wilhelmy method. The results were compared with the Cahn-Hilliard theory where the Flory, Orwoll, and Vrij equation of state was used to model the bulk properties of the blends. Experimental results for blends of low and high molecular weight (MW) poly(dimethylsilorane) (PDMS) were found to agree with theory to within experimental error with no adjustable parameters. The results indicate that we can accurately model the surface excess of the low molecular weight PDMS component. The theoretical dependence of the surface tension of the blend on the square gradient coefficient k 12 is also described
