Blends of poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] (PHB) and cellulose propionate (CP) with various compositions were prepared by the solvent-casting method, and their uniaxial drawing behavior was studied by means of two-dimensional wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Although this system has been reported to be entirely miscible, the DSC results revealed that the glass transition temperatures of the blends were not composition-dependent in the whole composition range. Furthermore, these transitions were quite broad or even double in the blends with high CP content. These features are the result of differing molecular motions attributed to the difference in chemical structure between the two components of the blend. The feasible maximum draw ratio decreased with increasing CP content due to restraint of chain slippage and necking caused by the stiffness and high friction coefficient of the CP component. A remarkable feature during uniaxial drawing was that the manner of crysta...
