β¦ Synopsis
The effects of modifying blends of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) with linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) by means of acrylic acid, maleic anhydride, phenolic resins and p-phenylene diamine were investigated. Modification by acrylic acid and maleic anhydride in the presence of dicumyl peroxide was found to be the most useful procedure for improving the mechanical behaviour and adhesion properties of the blend. The improvement was found to be due mainly to the grafting of the carboxylic acid to the polymer chains; grafting was found to be more effective in LLDPE/PVC blends than in pure LLDPE.

Secondary relaxations of low density polyethylene-poly(vinyl chloride) blends with various proportions of components (1:9, 1: 1 and 9: I w/w) were studied by photoluminescence of anthracene molecules dissolved in the bulk polymer.

Torque values and mechanical properties are reported for blends of low density with linear low density polyethylene (PE). The torque values show that incompatible mixtures in the molten state are formed when the torques of the pure polymers are almost equal. Semicompatible behaviour is shown in the
The crystallization studies revealed that the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) formed strong cocrystalline mass when they were melt blended in a single screw extruder. The progress of crystallization was observed through a small-angle light scattering inst
