The maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP-g-MAH) was used as a compatibilizer to improve the immiscible phase morphology of polypropylene/poly(ethylere terephthalate)(PP/PET) blends.The effect of PP-g-MAH on the phase morphology and structural rheology of the blends was studied.The results show that for PP/PET blends with PET-rich composition
the addition of PP-g-MAH reduces the dispersed PP particle size remarkably
leading to large change in the shape relaxation and deformation as well as break-up behavior of PP drops.For PP/PET blends with the components around the phase inversion point
the coexistence of phase morphology of `sea-island' and cocontinuous structure disappears with addition of PP-g-MAH.The enhancement in dependency of low-frequency modulus on frequency also indicates that phase interactions increase due to the compatible effect.However
for PP/PET blends with rich PP component
the addition of PP-g-MAH nearly has no influence on both the morphology and rheology.
