Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermomechanical analysis (TMA) measurements show that, in the case of polycarbonate (PC) with tetramethylpolycarbonate (MPC), the homopolymers are miscible up to 70% PC weight fraction; at higher PC content, an additional PC phase appears.

✦ Synopsis
A~tract--The thermal analysis characteristics of ternary blends polystyrene(PS)/polycarbonate(PC)/ tetramethylpolycarbonate (MPC) show that the PS forms mostly a pure PS phase, whereas the PC and MPC go into a second phase very close to a binary blend of the same PC/MPC weight composition. However, an additional broad glass transition is observed for most blends within the same temperature range (129-133°). On the other hand, the viscoelastic properties of the ternary blends containing 75% PC/MPC weight fraction exhibit an additional low frequency (large relaxation times) relaxation domain. This relaxation domain might be attributed either to a PS/MPC interphase or to PS "trapped" at the PS-PC/MPC interphase.

## Abstract The miscibility, phase behaviour and morphology of ternary systems, formed by a DGEBA‐based epoxy resin, polystyrene (PS) and styrene‐__co__‐maleic anhydride (SMA) copolymers have been investigated through phase diagrams. The analysis has been done in the absence and in the presence of
