2.1.2.2.3 Effect of Composition on Ternary Blends with Complete Wetting<br />

Morphology<br />

In the case of complete wetting, one phase situates at the interface of two other phases and<br />

separates them from each other. By varying the composition, three different cases can be formed.<br />

Guo et al.(Guo, Packirisamy, et al., 1997) showed that in a HDPE/PS/PMMA ternary blend, PS<br />

always separates HDPE and PMMA phases for various compositions. They showed that when<br />

HDPE is the matrix and PS and PMMA are the minor components, the PMMA phase is<br />

encapsulated by the PS phase (Figure 2-11a).<br />
