Abstract
Correction for ‘Revealing the dynamic heterogeneity of PMMA/PVDF blends: from microscopic dynamics to macroscopic properties’ by Bo Lu et al., Soft Matter, 2016, DOI: 10.1039/c5sm02659h.
In the above manuscript, on page 4 the following text:
“Fortunately, this effect can be neglected since blends with higher PVDF fractions (e.g. 30/70 blend) and expected to be more thermally stable still show the TTS failure even in the frequency region up to the crossover frequency (ωc) (Fig. 2d).”
Should instead read:

In the above manuscript, on page 4, the following text:
“Similar to the trend of η0, the average relaxation times, the blends especially at intermediate compositions are shorter than those of the components and also exhibit a minimum for bends with ϕPVDF = 60–70%, displaying a speed-up in relaxations.”
Should instead read:

In the above manuscript, on page 5, the following text:
“The observed curve up behaviour and a local minimum in viscosity, as well as the speed-up relaxations for blends with intermediate compositions, are assumed to be related to the reduced molecular entanglements, which will be discussed in the next section.”
Should instead read:
“The observed concave up behaviour and a local minimum in viscosity, as well as the speed-up relaxations for blends with intermediate compositions, are assumed to be related to the reduced molecular entanglements, which will be discussed in the next section.”
In the above manuscript, on page 5, the following text:
“In particular, blends with intermediate compositions have the higher Me and Me12 and the maximum ones for ϕPVDF = 80%, clearly suggest the reduced molecular entanglement; this is coincided with proceeding assumption, explaining the observed curve up behaviour and a local minimum in viscosity, and speed-up relaxations.”
