Miscibility can particularly easily be “tailored” with blends P (A x B 1‐x )/P (A y B 1‐y ) of random copolymers and with blends P (A x ‐b‐B 1‐x )/P (A y ‐b‐B 1‐y ) of diblock copolymers, where the blend components differ only in composition. The former class of blends is discussed in some generality, the latter only in one special example, where the components are a homopolymer (x=0) and a symmetric copolymer (y=0.5). Phase diagrams and phase morphologies are shown.
