| Abstract: | The flow behavior of bicomponent polymer blends of chlorinated polyethylene (PEC) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is presented in the form of flow curves. The relations between the rheological measurements and the morphology are discussed. The blends (PEC/PMMA, chlorinated up to 40 wt.-%) show the characteristic behavior of incompatible systems, some of them with a second highly dispersed phase. In addition a system of PE/PMMA is examined, the PE being the raw material of the PEC. The influence of the chlorination on flow behavior and the biphase structure is obvious. |
