Di. Korochkin et al., REGULARITIES OF THE MATRIX-FIBRILLAR MORPHOLOGY FORMATION UNDER THE POISEUILLE FLOW CONDITIONS IN A 2-COMPONENT POLYMER MELT, Vysokomolekularnye soedinenia. Seria A, 40(9), 1998, pp. 1458-1464
The process of transformation from the drop morphology to the fibrilla
r morphology in the flow of polycarbonate/polypropylene blends through
a cylindrical channel was studied. The presence of a boundary between
the regions of existence of these morphologies was predicted and expe
rimentally confirmed using the results for three blend compositions, A
model which allows controlled modification of the morphology of fiber
s obtained from the blend on the basis of properties of blend componen
ts was proposed.
