## Abstract Morphology development during the coalescence under shear in polypropylene/polystyrene blends was studied in this article. The coalescence was performed by decreasing the shear rate after a fine morphology is obtained at higher shear rate. Time resolved SEM performance indicates that, b

work examines the influence of well-defined diblock copolymers on the interfacial tension and morphology of an immiscible polymer blend. The system studied is a blend of 80% polystyrene and 20% ethylene propylene copolymer compatibilized by ( ) diblock copolymers of poly styrene-hydrogenated butadie
The results of theories of the Ostwald ripening and coalescence applied to molten quiescent polymer blends with dispersed phase structure were analyzed. From a comparison of predictions of the theories with available experimental results follows that coarsening of the phase structure in quiescent po
