This article reports on a new phenomenon: The presence of a compatibilizer accelerates the melting/plastification of an immiscible polymer blend during melt blending. The increase in the rate of melting as a result of the addition of a compatibilizer is believed to be one of the important factors re
The effect of processing conditions (essentially the flow conditions) on the mophology of incompatible, immiscible polymer blends was investigated. In simple shear flow the steady-state mophology, that is, droplet size, of such blends is a single-ualued finction of the shear rate whenever a critical
## Abstract The aim of this work was to study the role of effective parameters in the morphology evolution of polymer blends in a twin‐screw extruder with an emphasis on the effects of the melt viscoelastic properties of the blend components, screw speed, and flow field changes along the extruder.
