ABSTRACT
Multicomponent polymeric systems have acquired in recent times a great scientific and commercial consideration. The chemical nature of the components, their miscibility or immiscibility, their mechanical compatibilization, the type of processing used — all determine the material morphology and hence the final system properties. Therefore, the design of copolymers, blends, and semi-and interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) has received much attention in the literature for the possibility of tailoring their properties to specific end uses.
