Notes:
Because of the generally immiscible nature of polymers, multicomponent polymers or polymeric alloys often exhibit microphase separation. The morphologies of these heterogeneous materials are determined not only by the composition of the system, but also by the processing conditions. The resulting microstructures exert a profound influence on the properties of the polymeric alloys. The purpose of this review is to discuss the more recent advances in the investigation of the relation between the structure of the polymeric alloys and their properties. An understanding of this relationship would be important in being able to tailor make better materials and exploit the unique properties of these materials for engineering applications.
