Immiscible blends with crystallizable matrix

Although most principles for the crystallization of homopolymers remain valid for immiscible blends with a crystallizable matrix, the crystallization behavior can be altered by two phenomena, inherently correlated with immiscible two-phase systems, namely migration of impurities during melt-mixing and the nucleating activity of the interface between two phases. 

In the case of immiscible blends with a crystallizable matrix, the spherulite growth can be disturbed to a certain degree by the presence of an amorphous phase component, dispersed in the crystallizable melt. 

However, in the case of immiscible blends with a crystallizable matrix, the spherulite growth can be disturbed to a certain degree by the presence of an amorphous dispersed phase and intentional seeding (nanofillers) localized in the crystallizable matrix or at the interface. In the presence of molten or glassy dispersed phase, along the path of crystallization growth front can markedly disturb the...
