ABSTRACT

Polymer blending is to combine two or more components and has superior mechanical, optical, or thermal properties than these individual polymers. From the practical and economical points of view, polymer blending from existing polymers is the most effective and convenient route to create new and useful materials with greater versatility and Žexibility than the development of new polymers. Basically, three different types of blends can be distinguished; completely miscible, immiscible, and partially miscible blends [1,2] as shown in Figure 2.1.
