Abstract
Rheological and thermal analysis results of blends of a thermotropic copolyesteramide and polyarylate of bisphenol A depend on the thermo‐mechanical treatment during mixing. The changes observed as mixing time increases are the following: (a) melt viscosity and loss factor increase, (b) glass transition temperature decreases. The morphological analysis of the blends shows the inability of the treated blends to form an oriented liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) phase, which explains the observed viscoelastic properties.
