Formation of dispersed phase in incompatible polymer blends: Interfacial and rheological effects
Abstract
The formation of dispersed phase in blends of incompatible polymers during melt extrusion with a co‐rotating twin screw extruder was studied, using nylon and polyester as the matrix and ethylene‐propylene rubbers as the dispersed phase. A master curve is obtained, i.e., G η m α/γ = 4 p ±0.84 , where G is the shear rate, γ the particle diameter, η the interfacial tension, η m the matrix viscosity, η d the dispersed‐drop viscosity, and p = η d /η m . The plus (+) sign applies for p > 1, and the minus (−) sign for p < 1. Thus, the dispersed‐drop size is directly proportional to the interfacial tension and the ±0.84 power of viscosity ratio. The dispersed drops are the smaller, when the interfacial tension is the lower and the viscosity ratio is the closer to unity. The interfacial tension is largely controlled by the polarities of the two phases, and can be varied over several orders of magnitude by using appropriate dispersants.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
