The nature of thermodynamic interactions in plasticized semi- crystalline materials has a profound effect on the rheological properties. In this work we investigated the effect of mixing thermodynamics on the linear and nonlinear rheological proper- ties of plasticized poly(viny1 chloride). The stress-dependent creep compliance has been modeled in terms of stress, temperature, concentration, and thermodynamic interaction strength.
