ResumoIn this communication, we will demonstrate, by using poly(p-phenylene sulfide) (PPS)/polyamide66 (PA66) blends as an example, the clay can not only affect the phase morphology in immiscible polymer blends, but also frozen in the phase inversion. By adjusting the processing method, an inversed phase, where the minor component PA66 forms the continue phase and the major component PPS forms the dispersed phase, is observed for the first time. This is explained as due to the locking effects of clay layers on the phase development. The result is interesting and also very important, which provides a new way to control the phase morphology and phase inversion in immiscible polymer blends by using clay.
