description

BThe morphologican and mechanical properties of blends of bisphenol-A polycarbonate (PC) with a wholly aromatic liquid crystal copolyesteramide (Vectra-B) are discussed with reference to the conditions used for their preparation. The blends made by extrusion behave as mixtures of incompatible polymers. THe behaviour of the blends prepared in a batch mixer depends strongly on mixing time. A slight decrease in the mechanical properties accompanies the morphological changes associated with a progressive improvement in the compatibility of the two polymers
