Properties of ternary blends of nylon 6 (Ny6), a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (TLCP, poly(ester amide), 20 wt%) and a maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (2 wt%) (MAPP) were studied under various processing conditions. TLCP was pre-blended with MAPP first and then the binary one blended again with Ny6. The processing temperature of the second mixing was varied. Thermal properties show the partial miscibility of the ternary blend. The morphology of the TLCP phase in the first blending shows mostly in the fibril bundle shape, but varies between droplets and oriented fibrils after the second processing. Some of TLCP phase lost the fibril morphology during the second processing stage. The morphology variation invokes the change in tensile properties. Low extrusion temperature (270$\^{C}$) provides more fibril shapes, which are associated with less deformation in the second stage. The processing temperature effect was more evident when the draw ratio was high. High drawing was applicable due to the stabilizing action of tile compatibilizer.

The state of compatability of poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) and methyl cellulose(MC), prepared by an aqueous solution casting, were investigated over the entire compositions by dynamical mechanical analyzer(DMA) and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). The glass transition temperatures of the blends, estimated by DMA, indicate that the blends of PVA and MC showed a definite degree of partial miscibility by showing two glass transition temperatures below 80 wt % MC contents in the blends and one glass transition temperature above 80 wt % of MC contents. The DSC results show a depression of melting point and crystallization temperature of PVA in the blends containing more than 80 wt % MC. This indicates that a considerable compatibility in the blend above 80 wt % MC contents may be attribute to the presence of interaction of hydroxyl groups of component polymers through hydrogen bonding. The DMA study of the effect of plasticizer on the polymers showed that water was a good plasticizer for PVA and PEG400 for MC. The addition of water and PEG400 in the blends showed a synergic plasticizing effect on these blends, which resulted in the large extent of the improvement of the compatibility. The elongation of PVA, MC and blonds was found to increase with addition of PEG400 in the blends, but the tensile strength to decrease with addition of plasticizer.

Hydroxy-difunctional polyarylate(PAR) 올리고머와 toluene diisocyanate를 반응시켜 합성한 고분자 활성체를 사용하여 ${\varepsilon}$-caprolactam을 음이온 중합하여 다양한 블록길이의 PAR-nylon 6 블록공중합체들을 합성하였다. 합성한 블록공중합체들의 열적성질을 differential scanning calorimeter(d.s.c.)로 측정한 결과, 블록공중합체를 구성하는 PAR 블록과 nylon 6 블록은 부분적 상용성을 가졌으며, 그 정도는 블록의 길이가 짧을수록 컸다. PAR-nylon 6 블록공중합체와 PAR 혹은 nylon 6 homopolymer와의 이원블렌드에서 PAR homopolymer와 PAR 블록, nylon 6 homopolymer와 nylon 6 블록 사이의 분자수준의 섞임을 시사하는 거동을 d.s.c.로 관찰할 수 있었다.
