The deformation, breakup and morphology relaxation of a commercially important polycarbonate (PC)/poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) (SAN) blend under and after steady shear flow have been studied in situ by combined phase contrast optical microscopy (PCOM), small angle light scattering (SALS) and rheometry. Under steady shear flow, the morphology of PC/SAN blends evolves via repeated deformation, breakup...
Shish–kebab morphologies were observed with relatively low shear rate and low temperature in the phase-separated isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) blend. Both components are crystallizable polymers. In our experiments, relatively low shear rates and low temperatures were used, so that the entangled network chains cannot be broken up or disentangled, and the shish nuclei...
The transcrystal plays an important role in the enhancement of mechanical and thermal performances for polymer/glass fiber composites. Shear has been found to be a very effective way for the formation of transcrystal. Our purpose of this study was to explore the possibility to obtain the transcrystal in real processing such as injection molding. We will report our recent efforts on exploring the development...
The effect of shear flow on the structure of multi-component polymer blends and solutions is reviewed. The techniques of small-angle light and neutron scattering, optical microscopy, and fluorescence microscopy are used to directly assess the influence of an externally applied shear field on the phase stability and morphology of model polymer blends and solutions. The polymeric fluids of interest...
