Abstract
The interfacial properties of polymer blends of the engineering thermo plastics (TPs) polycarbonate (PC) and polyethersulfone (PES) with ther motropic liquid crystalline polymers (TLCPs) were studied using FTIR a nd DSC. The TLCP/TP blend systems were mainly immiscible. The viscosit y properties of the TLCP/TP blends were analysed. The mechanism of the viscosity variation of the blends is discussed. Based on the assumpti ons given in this paper, a reasoned theoretical formula of the blend v iscosity is derived to express the viscosity reduction of the TLCP/TP blends.
