Abstract	We compare how solid-state shear pulverization (SSSP), batch melt mixing (BMM), and static melt-state annealing affect the morphology of an immiscible blend of polypropylene (PP) and ethylene-α-olefin copolymer (EOC). For 85/15 wt% PP/EOC blends, SSSP and BMM led to log-normal distributions of dispersed-phase particle size. The SSSP blend had smaller average particle diameters (e.g., D n = 0.24 μm) and a narrower particle size distribution (e.g., D w/D n = 1.17; D v/D n = 1.56) than the BMM blend (D n = 0.28 μm; D w/D n = 1.25; D v/D n = 1.79). The fact that BMM is subject to thermodynamically and flow-induced coalescence while SSSP is not, can lead to smaller particle sizes and a narrower distribution by SSSP. Although annealing at 200 °C for 30 and 90 min led to continuous growth of average particle size in the BMM blend, the particle-size dispersity remained virtually unchanged. In contrast, after 30-min annealing at 200 °C, the SSSP blend showed less growth in $$D_{{_{n} }}^{{^{3} }}$$ than the BMM blend but a dramatic increase in particle-size dispersity and a loss of the log-normal size distribution. Between 30 and 90 min, there was at most slight growth in $$D_{{_{n} }}^{{^{3} }}$$ , consistent with partial compatibilization caused by in situ block copolymer formation during SSSP, and major reductions in D w/D n and D v/D n close to those of the BMM blend and recovery of the log-normal size distribution. These results suggest that caution should be used in correlating immiscible blend properties to a particular average particle size as that value may not reflect possible complexity of the underlying size distribution.
