The rheological behavior of polymer blends is compared with that reported for emulsions, block polymers and homologous polymer blends. It has been shown that the properties of polymer alloys frequently differ from those of these “model” systems—the principal difference being the lowering of at least one rheological function below the value predicted In the log‐additivity rule. Primarily, the most recent (post 1977) results are reviewed. The data obtained by the authors on the flow of poly(ethylene terephthalate)/Polyamide‐6,6 are discussed in detail.
