The results of theories of the Ostwald ripening and coalescence applied to molten quiescent polymer blends with dispersed phase structure were analyzed. From a comparison of predictions of the theories with available experimental results follows that coarsening of the phase structure in quiescent polymer blends with medium or high interfacial tension is induced by the coalescence. Both the mechanisms play a role in coarsening of the phase structure in blends with low interfacial tensions.
