Abstract
Abstract This disclosure is concerned with an improved process for preparing polymer blends by synthesizing a polyester by the phase boundary condensation synthesis wherein a preformed polymer is dissolved in the organic solvent phase of the synthesis system. This polymer is inert to the diphenol acid chloride and alkali used to form the polyester and differs from this polyester by at least molecular weight and may differ from it in chemical identity. This disclosure is also concerned with the polymer blends so obtained which display superior properties to those obtained by physically blending two already formed polymers.
