Abstract
We determine the interfacial properties of a threeβcomponent polymer blend in threeβphase coexistence. We discuss how the presence of the third component affects the behavior of the interface between two phases. We demonstrate the existence of a wetting transition in which one of the minority phases wets the other. Our results indicate that both firstβ and secondβorder wetting transitions occur.

An experimental study of the phase morphology and miscibility of binary blends of polyarylethersulfone (PES) and a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) ofp-oxybenzoate and ethylene terephthalate units in a 60/40 molar ratio (PET-60PHB) is described. Blends were prepared by solution coprecipitated and co
