Abstract
In this paper the effect of the inclusion of two different thermotropi c liquid crystal polymers (TLCP) on the processing of a polyetherimide (ULTEM 1000) is studied. The rheological behaviour of the two blends at different percentages of TLCP is related to the morphological struc ture developed during the extrusion in a capillary rheometer. The flow behaviour of the blends is discussed taking into account the viscosit y ratio between the two components and the deformation of the second p hase.
