The achievement of compatibilisation, whether by addition of a third component (a so-called ‘compatibiliser’) or by inducing in situ chemical reaction between blend components (reactive blending), has played an important role in the development of polymer blends. Indeed most commercial blends are considered to be compatible. The first question must therefore be ‘what do we mean by compatibility?’ The answer is not necessarily straightforward, as many workers in the past have used different definitions. |
