description

Abstract Rheological and mechanical data on polycarbonate/polypropylene blends are reported as a function of the blend preparation. Both kinds of properties depend on the properties of the homopolymers and on the processing conditions. In the molten state the blends are compatible at low content of polypropylene and incompatible at high content. The blends with intermediate compositions can be called semicompatible. Also in the solid state the blends with low content of polypropylene are compatible, while all other blends are incompatible.
