Abstract
The evolution of the morphology and rheological properties of polyethylene/polystyrene blends with various compositions was examined over the full range of compositions. The blends were prepared by using a single-screw extruder to simulate a convenient industrial process. Adhesion between the two phases was poor. The morphology and rheological properties of the blends were dependent on their composition. 18 refs.
