Structure and Properties of Blends of Polycarbonate and Poly(Ethylene-Terephthalate-Co-p-Hydroxybenzoate): Phase Diagram and Mechanical Behavior

ABSTRACTThe investigation of the thermal behavior of polymer blends leads to phase diagrams which involve Important information about the system. From these diagrams, equilibrium as well as non-equilibrium phases can be deduced and ranges of miscibility or partial miscibility of the polymers become obvious. Hence the diagrams are of a great value for processing of advanced polymer blends, especially If a polyphasic polymers such as a polymer liquid crystal is one of the constituents of the system.
