Abstract
In this paper it is shown that a core‐shell impact modifier which is predispersed in one phase of a complex blend may migrate to another phase during melt compounding. The migration process appears to be driven by differences in the spreading behavior of the individual blend components. The details of the migration are analyzed by electron microscopy studies of partially compounded samples which were quenched, extracted, and separated from the extruder screw.Keywords
