Abstract

The present paper deals with the studies on the polyethylene-polybutene-1 blend system and characterizes two issues, namely: (i) to present a method for preparing reinforced composite polymeric materials; (ii) to investigate the factors affecting the mechanical properties in the non-compatible crystalline blends. In order to investigate the structure-property relationship of highly oriented thin films of polyblends in the whole range of composition, the morphologies have been characterized using electron microscopy. The corresponding changes in the mechanical and thermal properties have also been studied. It is demonstrated that the observed anomolous behaviour in mechanical properties of the blends with the composition is mainly due to the resulting changes in the type of dispersion of the phases and their morphologies.
