Abstract: Blends of poly(phenylenesulfide)/polycarbonate( PPS/PC) were prepared via melt mixing The crystallization processoftheblends was characterized using DSC and XRD. It showed that the PPS/PCblends presents the typical partially compatible phase morphology. PC component inhibited the crystallization of PPS.This inhibition became stronger with increasing PC contents. However, the pres- ence of PC component did not change the crystalline structure of PPS.

Key words: poly(phenylene sulfide);polycarbonate, morphology, crystallization
