The behavior at the early stage of spinodal decomposition (SD) for polyetherimide (PEI)/epoxy blends was investigated. It was found that the phase separation of PEI/epoxy blends took place by SD mechanism. The development of molar mass in the epoxy resin was gradual and then the three blends could still be considered as concentrated solutions of thermoplastic. The kinetics at the early stage of phase separation for these blends could be described by the Cahn-Hilliard-Cook linearized theory.
