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

Abstract
Summary: The effect of chain architecture of in situ formed copolymers on the interfacial morphology of reactive polymer blends was investigated. We found that the chain architectures of copolymers at the interface significantly affected the reaction and interface roughness. Although the amount of in situ formed Yโshaped graft copolymers was smaller than that for diblock copolymers, the interface area generated by the former was larger than that generated by the latter.

## Abstract We investigated the effect of shear forces perpendicular to the interface on the interfacial morphology of a reactive bilayer. It was observed that the perpendicular shear force greatly enhanced the roughness of the interface compared with parallel shear force. The main role of in situ
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
The development of lamellar morphology in poly(oxymethylene) (POM) and its miscible blends was studied by synchrotron time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), during primary and secondary crystallization at temperatures near 150ยฐC. The blends contained two different diluents: poly(vinyl 4-
