Miscibility behavior of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [PHB]/poly(vinylidene chloride-co-acrylonitrile) [P(VDC-AN)] blends have been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and optical microscopy. Each blend showed a single T g , and a large melting point depression of PHB. All the blends contain

Abstract
Oriented films of miscible polymer blends of poly(vinylidene fluoride) and poly[(3‐hydroxybutyrate)‐co‐(3‐hydroxyvalerate)] were prepared using a flow‐orientation technique. The lamellar structure and crystal orientation depended upon composition and flow temperature (T~flow~). An interlamellar exclusion structure was induced in the blend flow‐oriented below 150 °C, whereas an interlamellar inclusion structure was developed above 150 °C. The crystal orientation of PHBHV was affected by the lamellar structures because the PHBHV chains crystallized in the pre‐existing crystalline morphology of PVDF. Crystallization of PHBHV was markedly restricted at lower PHBHV contents.
