Morphology development during phase inversion is a very complex and not well understood process. EPDM/PP -based TPVs were prepared and characterize by different electronic microscopy techniques. Using a low Mw-EPDM, morphology development during phase inversion was successfully followed by scanning electron microscopy with a back scattered electron detector.
