Interphase and Compatibilization by Addition of a Compatibilizer

  • Reference work entry
Polymer Blends Handbook

Abstract

Polymer blends are mixtures of at least two macromolecular species, polymers and/or copolymers. For practical reasons, the name blend is given to a system only when the minor component content exceeds 2 wt%. Depending on the sign of the free energy of mixing, blends are either miscible or immiscible.
