## Abstract The consequences of the interfacial mobility on the coalescence process in immiscible polymer blends was studied. Blends of PIB and PDMS with 10 vol.% PIB were subjected to shearβflow stepβdown experiments under controlled conditions. The blend was initially sheared at high shear rate t

The effect of miscibility on elongational viscosity of polymer blends was investigated in homogeneous, miscible, and immiscible states by the blend of 1.5 wt % of ultrahigh-molecular-weight (UHMW) polymer. The matrix polymer was either poly-(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), or poly(acrylonitrile-co-styr
The effect of processing conditions (essentially the flow conditions) on the mophology of incompatible, immiscible polymer blends was investigated. In simple shear flow the steady-state mophology, that is, droplet size, of such blends is a single-ualued finction of the shear rate whenever a critical
The WLF relation connecting viscosity to temperature is used as the basis for a formal description of the compositional variation of blend viscosities. An algebraic manipulation and the use of the cognate pure-constituent Williams-Landel-Ferry (WLF) factors provide a means of introducing composition
