Abstract
Late stages are examined in the spinodal decomposition process of polymer blends. The coarsening due to surface tension is much delayed in the entangled case even on the dimensionless time scale. Before its inception the hydrodynamic interaction is strongly suppressed and the coarsening should be analogous to that of the kinetic Ising model.Keywords
