ABSTRACTThe phase behavior of polymer blends and solutions can be changed dramatically by a flow field using a variety of flow geometries. Unlike simple binary fluids which require extremely high shear rates to produce only small shifts in the phase boundary, polymer phase behavior may be influenced by as much as 10 degrees with the application of much lower shear rates. However, there is a large body of conflicting data concerning the nature of these shear effects in polymers.Here we report on the effects of shear on the phase behavior of polymer blends by small angle neutron scattering (SANS). Experiments were conducted using a specially constructed, concentric cylinder apparatus for in situ studies of concentrated polymer solutions and melts. Two separate systems will be discussed: 1) a blend of polystyrene and polybutadiene. 2) a blend of polystyrene and poly(vinylmethylether). Both systems exhibit shifts in the phase behavior which indicate shear induced mixing in agreement with previous results obtained by other techniques. These results will be interpreted within the context of existing theories of shear induced phase behavior.
