Three-phase polymer blends with ``multiple droplet" morphology are important industrially. They are referred to as ``double emulsions" as the droplets of these blends themselves contain a number of smaller droplets inside. In this work, the dynamic viscoelastic behavior of double emulsions composed of three immiscible polymeric liquids is modeled. Simulations show that such double emulsions exhibit three relaxation domains due to relaxation of two different interfaces (internal and external) and the matrix polymer. The factors affecting the dynamic viscoelastic behavior of double emulsions composed of three immiscible polymeric liquids are discussed.
