Several examples are presented and serve to demonstrate the fabrication of unique polymer-polymer composites and blends, including intimate blends of normally incompatible polymers, and the delivery of additives to polymers by means of embedding polymer- or additive-U and CD- ICs into carrier polymer films and fibers, followed by coalescence of the IC guest, or by coalescence of two polymers or a polymer and an additive from their common CD-IC crystals.}, journal={MACROMOLECULAR SYMPOSIA}, author={Huang, L and Gerber, M and Taylor, H and Lu, J and Tapaszi, E and Wutkowski, M and Hill, M and Lewis, C and Harvey, A and Herndon, A and et al.}, year={2001}, month={Nov}, pages={129–144} }

ICs formed with either urea(U) or cyclodextrin(CD) hosts and containing guest polymers or small-molecule additives are embedded into carrier polymer films either by solution casting or melt pressing methods. Once embedded, the IC crystals are left undisturbed or are disrupted by solvent treatment, which removes the host (U or CD), but not the carrier polymer nor the coalesced IC-guest. In this manner polymer-polymer composite and additive-filled films have been fabricated. Employment of polymer-U or CD-ICs produces composite films containing two different polymers or two populations of the same polymer. In the latter case, the morphologies of the carrier and IC-coalesced chains may differ, because of chain-folded and chain-extended crystallization, respectively. We may, for example, control film permeabilities by either controlling the compositions or the morphologies of}, journal={ACS Symposium Series}, author={Huang, L. and Gerber, M. and Taylor, H. and Lu, J. and Tapaszi, E. and Wutkowski, M. and Hill, M. and Funahlee, F.
