A radiation grafted copolymer of polycarbonate (PC) and polystyrene (PS) was used as a compatibilizer of PC/PS melt blends. The compatibility and morphology of PC/PS/PC-g-PS blends were studied by di β erential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy. As a consequence of the addition of

β¦ Synopsis
Polycarbonate (PC)/polystyrene (PS) blend is a typical immiscible system. It is, however, still transparent. In this paper, this irregular phenomenon is clariΓed experimentally and theoretically. A new method of obtaining birefringence-free polymers without sacriΓcing orientation in materials is proposed. This involves combining suitable amounts of PC and PS in the form of a blend. The observed drastic reduction in birefringence is the result of the compensation of positive and negative contributions to the overall birefringence.
