The rheology and morphology of highly compatibilized droplets has been studied, using both rheology and small angle light scattering. It is shown that linear viscoelastic measurements are a powerful tool to investigate the effectiveness of a compatibilizer to suppress coalescence. Moreover, such highly compatibilized droplets are insensitive to deformation and breakup. The consequences for the rheological behaviour of the blend are discussed.
