Formation and dynamics of core–shell droplets in immiscible polymer blends

Abstract

Two possible mechanisms of generating core–shell droplets, namely the rupture of blend films and the disintegration of compound threads, were identified in immiscible polymer blends with high viscosity. The deformation and relaxation behavior of the core–shell droplets was shown to be intimately related to the core-to-shell diameter ratio (Rcs).
