Abstract

Polymer blending constitutes a most useful method for the improvement or modification of the physicochemical properties of polymeric materials. Some of the polymer blends exhibit unusual properties, unexpected from homopolymers. An important property of a polymer blend is the miscibility of its component, because it affects the mechanical properties, the morphology, its permeability and degradation [1, 2]. (omitted)
