Abstract
The immiscible blend of poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) with an acrylon itrile content of 25 wt%, SAN25, and polycarbonate, PC, in the ratio 7 5/25 has been studied with respect to additives of poly(epsilon-caprol actone), PCL. The PCL was found to compatibilize the blend, i.e., incr eased the impact strength, but a single phase ternary blend was not ob tained even with 25 phr of PCL. PCL is completely miscible with SAN25 and with PC but was found to predominantly concentrate in the PC rich phase in the ternary blend.
