Graft copolymers are closer to supermolecular structures than any other class of polymers. Most grafting reactions proceed in demixed blends or lead in situ to such blends The competition of chemical chain coupling and physical phase separation generates complex phase morphologies that cannot (or not so directly) be produced otherwise. To demonstrate potential and problems of graft copolymer systems, high‐impact thermoplastics, block‐graft copolymers and reactive blending are discussed.
