• This chapter discusses the structure-properties of immiscibleImmiscible polymer blends, focusing on the effects of compatibilization. It has been discussed that the morphologyMorphology of immiscible blends governs their final properties and thus end-use applications. Therefore, refining the morphologies via different routes such as reactive or physical compatibilization methods was suggested. Among the possible compatibilizationCompatibilization methods, the use of nanoparticlesNanoparticle has recently gained popularity as their large surface areas lend them additional reinforcing characteristics. However, it has been shown that localizationLocalization of nanoparticles within blends plays a determinant role in refining the blend morphologies. In comparison, nanoparticlesNanoparticle located at interfacesInterface exhibit the most efficient contribution to both compatibilizationCompatibilization and the blend properties, by acting as a physical shield against coalescenceCoalescence.
