Abstract The review of current knowledge of the composition dependence of polymer‐blend processability and morphology shows that development of industrial blends requires use of a semiempirical approach, based on the particular rheological composition (PRC) concept. Selecting blend composition in the close proximity to PRC and employing factorial experiments for the mixing process allows the development of successful industrial polyethylene/polypropylene blends designed for film and blow‐molding applications.
