A short introduction to polymer‐polymer miscibility and to the prediction of the miscibility of polymers is given. The four main types of polymer‐modified poly(vinyl chloride) (plastification, impact modification, processing aids and heat deflection temperature modification) are explained by examples. The thermal stability of poly(vinyl chloride) in such blends is discussed; the effectivity of tin‐stabilizers may be higher in such blends than in pure poly(vinyl chloride).
