Abstract

Thermoplastic copolymers are of great importance in industry because of the large range of their physical properties. This comes from the nature of the components, their ratio, the sequence lengths (randoms, blocks, grafts copolymers), their solid state morphology (crystalline or amorphous) and the multiphasic or monophasic structure.
