ABSTRACT

Flow behavior of the polymer blends is determined by their structure, which is governed by the degree of dispersion of the component and by the mode of their distribution. For blends having identical compositions, it is possible to produce systems in which one and the same component may be either a dispersion medium or a dispersed phase [I]. This behavior of the poly blend systems depends on various parameters, the most important of which is the blending sequence. It is, therefore, difficult to obtain a uniform composition property relationship for the polymer blends even though the composition remains identical.
