Notes:
Polymer blends, because of the well-known immiscibility of polymers, generally show phase separation. Block polymers can be considered as simple models of two-phase systems. Because unlike segments are connected by covalent bonds, the phase separation is on a smaller scale and takes rather unusual forms. The types of block polymers of commercial importance are described with a consideration of the morphologies which result from particular compositions. Their use as solubilizing agents to increase the compatibility of the corresponding homopolymers is also discussed.
