## Abstract The consequences of the interfacial mobility on the coalescence process in immiscible polymer blends was studied. Blends of PIB and PDMS with 10 vol.% PIB were subjected to shearβflow stepβdown experiments under controlled conditions. The blend was initially sheared at high shear rate t
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
In order to investigate the effect of interfacial tension on the formation of gradient phase morphology in polymer blends, a saponification reaction was carried out in this study to obtain several kinds of EVA with different contents of -OH groups. These EVAs with different -OH contents, namely with
The compatibilizing effect of polypropylene (PP) grafted with hyperbranched polymers (PP-HBP) has been investigated in PP/polyamide-6 (PA-6) blends. Because of its high reactivity and diffusitivity, PP-HBP has been shown to be a more effective compatibilizer in decreasing the interfacial tension tha
