Films composed of poly(vinyl chloride)/poly(ɛ-caprolactone)/poly(ɛ-caprolactone)-b-poly(dimethylsiloxane) [PVC/PCL/(PCL-b-PDMS)] blends were prepared by solvent casting from tetrahydrofuran. The PVC content was kept constant (60 wt %) while varying the PCL and PCL-b-PDMS contents, part of the PCL (0–20 wt %) in the PVC/PCL (60/40) blend being replaced with PCL-b-PDMS with different molecular weights of the PCL blocks. The prepared blends were investigated by infrared spectroscopy and contact angle measurements. FTIR analysis and contact angle measurements indicate that the PDMS blocks tend to migrate towards the surface and this migration is preferential to the side in contact with air.
