Abstract
Polymer blends are physical mixtures of two or more homopolymers or copolymers. This type of materials have wide spectrum of technological applications, and their properties are influenced, e.g., by the properties of single components and morphology of final material. The rheology of polymer blends is connected with the processing of polymer blends and is influenced by thermodynamics, morphology, and their evolution during testing. This chapter provides an overview of research areas in the field of miscible and immiscible polymer blend rheology. Selected issues were discussed, e.g., application of time-temperature superposition principle in miscible polymer blends (concerning influence of intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding), influence of rheometer geometry on the obtained results, multiphase flow (including behavior of droplets in matrix), and flow imposed morphologies.
