In order to achieve a better understanding of polymer blending processes some experimental work has been carried out on the deformation and break‐up behavior of liquid droplets in simple shearing matrices. For Newtonian systems good agreement was obtained with existing theories. For non‐Newtonian systems trends were established regarding the influence of fluid elasticity on droplet deformation and break‐up.
