Melt and solid state behaviour of polyolefin blends

Polymer–polymer blends are rapidly growing as an important resource for obtaining new and improved polymeric materials; and polyolefins are among the most widely used thermoplastics in the polymer industries due to their low cost, desirable physical properties and wide range of applications. For this reason several polyolefin polymers were melt blended and different experimental techniques were used to investigate their characteristics and their properties. The blends under investigation are reported in four chapters, following a literature survey and a description of experimental techniques. [Continues.]
