Abstract
Blends of PEI with PSU were prepared directly during the plasticization step of an injection molding process. The phase behavior, the morphology and the mechanical properties of the blends were determined. The blends were composed of an almost pure PEI phase and a PSU‐rich phase. The particle size was very small, indicating a low interphase tension that is attributed to the presence of PEI in the two phases of the blends. The modulus of elasticity of the blends was close to that of the additive. The impact strength was higher than that of PEI. The tensile strength and elongation at break were also almost additive, despite the biphasic nature of the blends, indicating the existence of good interfacial adhesion.

## Abstract Blends of PEI with an amorphous copolyester (PCTG) were obtained by melt‐mixing followed by injection molding. The processability of PEI increased several times upon addition of just 10% PCTG, thus expanding the applications of PEI. All the blends showed a single __T__~g~ and most of th
Polyamide 6 (PA 6)/poly(hydroxy ether of bisphenol A) (phenoxy) blends filled with up to 30% of both mica and calcium carbonate were obtained by extrusion and subsequent injection molding over the whole composition range.

The thermal properties of blends of poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) and poly(ether imide) (PEI) prepared by screw extrusion were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. From the thermal analysis of amorphous PEEK-PEI blends which were obtained by quenching in liquid nitrogen, a single gla
