The properties of polymer alloys are strongly dependent on their phase morphologies. Usually, the phase dispersion and domain sizes are affected by the process and can be influenced and stabilized only “extrinsically” by dispersants and emulsifiers. But, there are some examples of alloys with phase morphologies which are “intrinsically” determined and thus independently of the processing conditions. This aspect of phase determining factors is discussed using four principally different examples of polymer alloys.
