Abstract
The properties of immiscible polymer blends strongly depend on the microstructure which is generated during processing. Therefore, understanding the morphology evolution during flow is important. In this paper, the relaxation behaviour of the droplets in dilute immiscible polymer blends is studied in-situ by the combined use of linear conservative dichroism and small angle light scattering (SALS) measurements.
