Phase inversion and co-continuity domain in immiscible polyethylene/polystyrene blends
Keyword(s):
Abstract Blends of polystyrene and high-density or linear low-density polyethylene have been prepared in an internal mixer and studied in a wide range of compositions. Phase inversion compositions have been determined using selective extraction and scanning electron microscopy. It appears that phase inversion can occur in a domain of compositions rather than at a single point. The existing models of phase inversion are not complete enough to explain the entire phenomenon, and percolation of each component may be considered to describe the formation of co-continuity.
