The Chow equations, which constitute a large set that is too long and complex to reproduce here, are sometimes more accurate. Both of these sets of general-purpose equations (Halpin-Tsai and Chow) are applicable to many types of multiphase systems including composites, blends, immiscible block copolymers, and semicrystalline polymers. Their application to such systems requires the morphology to be described adequately and reasonable values to be available as input parameters for the relevant material properties of the individual phases. 

Polyolefin blends are generally immiscible due to hydrophobic or nonpolar nature of polyolefins. The immiscibility leads to phase separation, which is responsible for the poor mechanical properties of these blends. Immiscibility of polyolefin/... 

Compatibilized Polymer Blends. Immiscible blends in which the microstructure and physical properties can be stabilized by adding surface-active species called compatibilizers. These compatibiliz-ers will influence various morphological processes, such as deformation, breakup, and coalescence of droplets. 

There are several excellent reviews on the SMP [15-20]. The present review focuses on the SMP synthesized from polymer blending technique. Polymer blending is an effective and economical way to develop the new polymeric materials with desirable properties. Numerous polymer blends exhibiting shape memory effects have been reported, which can be classified into miscible blend, immiscible blend, interpenetrating polymer network (IPN), and cross-linked blends. 

Vinyl fluoride Vinylidene fluoride Single Tg Semicrystalline later work found the blends immiscible (Guerra et al. (1986)) Godovskii et al. (1981), Guerra et al. (1986)... 

HDPE immiscibly blends with hutyl ruhher [14] to provide improved chemical resistance, compression set and high-temperatnre mechanical properties versus nnvnlcanised hlends. LDPE and HDPE blend immiscibly with ethylene copolymers to improve environmental stress crack resistance, tonghness, filler acceptance, film tear resistance, improved flexibility and so on. In polyolefin, polybntene-1 forms miscible blends with PP [15,16]. The addition of PP to polybutene-1 increases the crystallisation rate of polyhntene-1 and would have utility as a nucleation additive. 

Cocontinuous phase morphology is developed in melt-mixed blends under a particular set of processing conditions, component characteristics, and blend compositions. As described above, melt-blended immiscible homopolymers A and B can exhibit a cocontinuous two-phase morphology at a specific condition involving mainly the following ... 

Polyfvinyl methyl ether) (PVME) was known to exhibit marginal miscibility with poly(benzyl methacrylate) with LCST behavior. [159] This blend is found to offer distinct similarities to PS/PVME blends. Immiscibility of PVME with a host of other poly(meth) acrylates was observed.[159] PMMA has been shown to be miscible with poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) a naturally occurring polyester that can be produced by bacterial fermentation, which has been commercialized as a biodegradable polymer.[160]... 

Immiscible blends. Immiscible polymer blends having good interphase bonding provide a continuous two-phase heterogenous medium to diffusion and sorption. A detailed study of these cases is beyond the scope of this chapter. Let us consider the simple case of a two-polymer immiscible blend in which one phase remains continuous across a composition range, and the other is a discontinuous phase dispersed as spherical particles. The effective permeability is described by the following equation ...

A study of free volume in immiscible PS/PC and miscible PS/TMPC blends using PAL spectroscopy showed negative deviation in hnearity in the free volume of the miscible blend [390]. The free volume hole distribution was additive in the miscible blend, but broadened in the immiscible blend. Similar results were noted in comparison of SMA/SAN polymer blends [391]. The values of 13 were close to linearity with composition, whereas I3 showed negative deviation from linearity for the miscible blends. Immiscible blends were foimd to exhibit tmsymmetrical and broader oPs lifetime distributions than the miscible blends. 

FTIR) and X-ray diffraction. Final morphology was studied by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Dynamical mechanical analysis showed two glass transition temperatures for the blends, corresponding to separate phases of PHBV and polyalcohols. Blend immiscibility was found, and polyalcohol addition enhances the crystallinity of PHBV. However, the storage modulus value decreases, upon the addition of amorphous compound [220].

The primary motivation for blending immiscible polymers is to create materials with combinations of properties superior to its components [1], Cocontinuous morphologies are characterized by the mutual interpenetration of phases and can form over a range of compositions, depending largely on the relative polymer viscosities, elasticity, and interfacial tension. These morphologies offer a variety of applications mechanical property enhancement, electrically conductive blends, barrier property improvement, and tissue scaffolds.
