Droplet-in-Matrix Dispersed Phase Morphology

A droplet-in-matrix phase morphology developed in immiscible polymer blends depends on the viscoelastic properties and composition of the two components of the blend in the melt state. The rheological formalism used for the non-Newtonian phases as polymer melts follows, with adjustment of the 

For readers who desire to have more details on the fundamentals of the process and the mechanism of dispersed phase establishments, we believe that the extensive works of Taylor [2,3], Tomotika [4], Rayleigh [5], Van Oene [6], Elmon-dorp [7], Elemans [8], and Grace [9] on this subject provide a more complete investigation.
