The term "alloy" as pertaining to polymers has become an
increasingly popular description of composites of polymers, parti
cularly since the publication of the first volume in this series in
1977. Polymer alloy refers to that class of macromolecular
materials which, in general, consists of combinations of chemically
different polymers. The polymers involved in these combinations may
be hetero geneous (multiphase) or homogeneous (single phase). They
may be linked together with covalent bonds between the component
polymers (block copolymers, graft copolymers), linked topologically
with no covalent bonds (interpenetrating polymer networks), or not
linked at all except physically (polyblends). In addition, they may
be linear (thermoplastic), crosslinked (thermosetting),
crystalline, or amorphous, although the latter is more common. To
the immense satisfaction - but not surprise - of the editors, there
has been no decrease in the research and development of polymer
alloys since the publication of the first volume, as evidenced by
numerous publications, conferences and symposia. Continued advances
in polymer technology caused by the design of new types of polymer
alloys have also been noted. This technolog ical interest stems
from the fact that these materials very often exhibit a synergism
in properties achievable only by the formation of polymer alloys.
The classic examples, of course, are the high impact plastics,
which are either polyblends, block, or graft co polymers composed
of a rubbery and a glassy polymer. Interpene trating polymer
networks (IPN's) of such polymers also exhibit the same, or even
greater, synergism."
