Abstract
The morphology of a polypropylene and polyamide blend has been investi gated with the Rheoplast rheometer which allows us to apply a well def ined thermomechanical history before the capillary flow. The polymer f low in the Rheoplast has been modeled using a homogenization hypothesi s for the rheology. Correlations between the different observed morpho logies and shear rates, elongational rates as well as dissipated energ ies are discussed.
