Abstract
On purpose to examine the effect of branch length on the miscibility of polyolefin blends, miscibility behavior of linear polyethylene/poly(ethylene‐co‐1‐octene) blend was studied and compared to that of linear polyethylene/poly(ethylene‐co‐1‐butene) blend. Miscibility of the blend was determined by observing the morphology quenched from the melt, and by using the relation between interaction parameter and copolymer composition. When the weight composition and molecular weight was the same, poly(ethylene‐co‐1‐octene) was slightly more miscible with linear polyethylene than poly(ethylene‐co‐1‐butene) was. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Dynamic viscoelastic properties of binary blends consisting of an isotactic polypropylene (i-PP) and ethylene-1-octene copolymer (PEE) were investigated to reveal the relation between miscibility in the molten state and the morphology in the solid state. In this study, PEE with 24 wt % of 1-octene w
