Numerical simulations of the phase separation and coarsening of particulate, ternary polymer blends have been performed using a ternary form of the modified Cahn-Hilliard equation. The third component was chosen to be a compatibilizer, typically being a random copolymer of the major components. The
Three synthesized acrylonitrile-graft-silk fibroin copolymers (AN-g-SF), denoted as COP-65, COP-87, and COP-106, were used as potential compatilizers for acrylic polymer-silk fibroin blend fibers. Due to their different molecular weights and architecture, the compatibilizing efficiency is in the ord
Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer functionalized with mercapto groups (EVALSH) has been used as compatibilizing agent in nitrile rubber/EVA blends. The tensile strength and elongation at break of the system were measured as a function of the EVALSH content and blend composition. The compatibili
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
