-The "Breaking Thread"- method is based on the theoretical basis of the description of the break-up of a Newton thread in a Newtonian matrix. Indeed this method is restricted on binary systems where the melt temperature of the disperse phase is above the one of the matrix phase. In addition to this the viscosity at zero shear rate η0 of the matrix should not exceed 40kPas. The experimental setup to obtain the measurements is displayed in the figure. Through-out the test, the system is cooled by nitrogen. Before the measuring starts the system is heated for approximately 10 minutes at 220°C in order to minimise retardation effects during the melting process. After this the heating of the systems with the required temperature follows. Once the thread has been melted capillary waves appear at the interface of the matrix. The whole process is re-corded with a CCD- camera.+The ‘breaking thread’ method is based on the theoretical description of the breakup of a liquid Newtonian thread in a Newtonian matrix. However, this method is limited to multi-component systems in which the melting temperature of the dispersed phase is higher than that of the matrix. In addition, the zero viscosity $\eta_0$ (viscosity $\eta$ at $\dot{\gamma}$ towards 0) of the matrix should not exceed 40 kPas. The following image shows the schematic structure of the test rig set up for the measurements. The heating table is flushed with nitrogen throughout the entire duration of the experiment. Before the measurement begins, the system is tempered in the heating table for approximately 10 minutes at 220 °C to minimise retardation effects during melting. The system is then heated to the desired test temperature. As soon as the filament has melted, capillary waves form at its interface with the matrix. The entire process is recorded with a CCD camera.

 $$\gamma_{12} = \frac{q \cdot \eta_c \cdot D_0}{\Omega(p,X)} \tag{1}$$ $$\gamma_{12} = \frac{q \cdot \eta_c \cdot D_0}{\Omega(p,X)} \tag{1}$$

-Referring to the literature one can find the approximation value γ12,m=0,01 mN/m °C the slope of the straight line. In reality this value varies when using different polymer pairs. Only two measurements of the interfacial tension γ12, at two different temperatures T are required to determine the approximation function. When using the "Breaking Thread" method one is able to determine the interfacial tensions γ12 above the melt temperature TK with the help of the advanced approximation function with only a few experiments. The "pendant drop" method is the most versatile and reliable process for measuring the interfacial tension of polymers. On the one hand the state of equilibrium between the polymer phases adjusts rapidly in comparison to other methods and on the other hand this method has the ability to perform the measurements in an inert atmosphere. The process is based on the optical measurement of the shape of a fluid or melt drop that is embedded with the surrounding phase in a hydrostatic equilibrium (see figure). This shape is comparable with that of a theoretically predicted shape of drop. This shape can be calculated on the basis of the Gauss-Laplace equation. The interfacial- or surface tension is then described as follows:+Referring to the literature one can find the approximation value $\gamma_{12,0}$ the slope of the straight line.
