This work aims at studying the mechanism involved in the phase coarsening of ternary tri‐continuous polymer blends. To this aim, the phase coarsening behaviors of a co‐continuous polyethylene (PE)/polyethylene oxide (PEO) blend, and a tri‐continuous PE/polycaprolactone (PCL)/PEO blend during the qui...
