The use of multiphase polymers is of growing importance because of their inherent economical and technological benefits. The basic characteristics of multiphase polymer blends and alloys are covered. The advantages of vinyl as a component are discussed in light of its ease of processing, inherent compatibility, fire resistance, weatherability, and a wide range of properties achievable. Blend morphology is reviewed and related to the mechanical properties. Typical examples of commercial materials and their application are reviewed.
