Application of digital image analysis (DIA) to polymer blends morphology is discussed with examples. Various operations in DIA including two‐dimensional Fourier transformation (2DFT), intensity distribution, recursive region extraction, etc. are applied to morphology of polymer blends due to spinodal decomposition (SD), nucleation 6 growth (NG), and eutectic solidification (ES). Merits and drawbacks of DIA to study polymer blends morphology are discussed and the possibility of future development is presented.
