A simple phenomenological approach is proposed in order to predict the presence of minima in the viscosity‐composition curves of blends of thermoplastic with liquid crystal polymer (LCP). When the viscosity of the liquid crystal polymer is larger than that of the thermoplastic matrix, a minimum is observed. A possible explanation of the presence of yield stress in the flow curves of these blends is also given.
