Poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) is miscible with cellulose acetate (CA) with a degree of acetyl substitution (DS) of less than ca. 2.75, and a random copolymer of N-vinylpyrrolidone (VP) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) can also form completely miscible blends with CA, when the VP fraction in the copolymer is >30 mol % and the DS of CA is ≤2.5. The molecular orientation and optical anisotropy induced by uniaxial deformation of the miscible blends of the VP-containing vinyl polymers [P(VP-co-MMA)s] with CA were characterized by a fluorescence polarization method and birefringence quantification, respectively. Film samples of more than 10 pairs of CA/P(VP-co-MMA) were cast from mixed polymer solutions in N,N-dimethylformamide containing a slight amount of a stilbene derivative as a fluorescent probe, to assume different blend compositions for each individual polymer pair. Through analysis of polarized fluorescence intensity, it was found that all the drawn films gave a positive orientation function, but the ori...
