The emphasis in the analysis of the results is placed on blends containing mLLDPE to address the lack of CL information on these blends. The CL data are consistent with the thermal and physicomechanical properties of the blends, with a decreased blend miscibility being re?ected in the CL data as a departure from the idealized behavior observed for more miscible blends. Furthermore, the results suggest that immiscibility in the solid state is re?ected to some extent in the behavior of the melt. Preliminary experiments conducted to determine the level of consistency of CL results with respect to both variability between instruments and variability between techniques indicate a high degree of correlation in each case.
