Rheology and morphology of compatibilized polymer blends

Research into the compatibilization of immiscible polymer blends has, during the past few years, begun to focus on the role of block co-polymers (bcp) on various morphological processes. Considerable advances have been made, from both a theoretical and an experimental point of view, in relating the presence of compatibilizers to structure development during flow.
