## Abstract We present new results on the behaviour of single chains in homoβand copolymer blends which are beyond the rendom phase approximation (RPA). The radius of gyration of a chain in the blend was found to depend strongly on the interactions as well as the effective diffusion constant of a s

In the present article, we investigate by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) the thermal behavior (melting, crystallization, and crystal-crystal transitions) far from equilibrium of blends constituted of two crystalline polymers. In particular, the following blends are examined: PTFE-PFMVE, PTF
Compatibilization of blends of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE)poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and LLDPE-copolymer of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and 4-vinylpyridine (poly(MMA-co-4VP) with poly(ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) (EMAA) have been studied. Mechanical properties of the LLDPE-PMMA blen
To define mathematically the concept of copolymer "randomness", we introduce a new quantity s, which we propose to call "informational entropy". It is defined as the ratio between the natural logarithm of the number of ways of disposing the homosequences of a copolymer and the number of monomeric un
## Abstract DDFT is applied to phase formation in homopolymer/copolymer blends in which the copolymer is extremely disperse with a uniform chemical composition distribution. Such systems develop a core/shell structure with a thick interface. This study is motivated by peculiarities in the phase evo
