HDPE/EVA blends undergo phase separation, making it an interesting topic to investigate the relationships between miscibility and crystallization.
Influences from blending on the crystallization kinetics were successfully evaluated by Friedman's and Khanna's method.
X-ray diffraction studies revealed that blending with EVA the unit length of the unit cell of the HDPE increases.
Thermal fractionation method was successfully used to characterize the co-crystallization in HDPE/EVA blends.
