Abstract
The relations among the morphological parameters of binary polymer ble nds with the morphology of well-dispersed particles are quantitatively studied to correct the error from the simple cubic (sc) lattice assum ption made in previous works. A new morphological parameter, the parti cle spatial distribution parameter xi, is defined. A new equation for correlating the spatial distribution with other morphological paramete rs is derived. The relationships among them are discussed. The values of the spatial distribution parameter for poly(vinyl chloride)/nitrile rubber, polypropylene (PP)/EPDM and PP/EVA blends appear to be a cons tant. The errors stemming from the sc lattice assumption for these ble nds are analysed. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All righ ts reserved.
