Structured Polymer Blends-1

  • Chapter
Book cover Integration of Fundamental Polymer Science and Technology—2

Abstract

The influence of viscosity ratio and volume fraction on the morphology of a blend of two incompatible polymers is shown for the model system polyethylene/polystyrene (PE/PS). An attempt has been made to fixate the morphology by crosslinking the dispersed (PE) phase using electron beam or gamma irradiation. Due to shielding of the PS matrix, the crosslinking in the PE phase is less effective up to now, to achieve complete fixation of the morphology.
