Blends of polypropylene (PP) and ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) were studied. The effect of the level of rubber addition and the ethylene content is described. The results show that the viscosity of the PP, rubber content, ethylene content, and grafted EPR by maleic anhydride (MA) are important fac

✦ Synopsis
An investigation about the possibilities of atactic polypropylene in order to be chemically modified either in solution or in molten state processes, and further predictions about the reaction conditions' influence in the process, have been carried out. For those purposes the Box-Wilson experimental design method has been used. Besides, in order to check the experimental design polynomials forecasting of the models, additional experiments were performed at different working temperatures, kind of solvent, and stereospecificity of the polymer by comparison of processes carried out on atactic and isotactic polypropylenes.

Grafting reactions were performed in a Haake torque rheometer, according to a central composite experimental design, where the maleic anhydride and peroxide concentrations, rotor speed, and reaction time were varied. The 27 formulations were analyzed by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy and
The properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and polypropylene (PP) blends and PET/maleic anhydride-grafted PP (MAgPP) reactive blends were investigated. Two blend systems were immiscible based on tan ␦ measured by dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). In case of PET/MAgPP blends, the reaction
Grafting of maleic anhydride onto polypropylene was performed in a Haake torque rheometer, according to a central composite experimental design, in which four factors were varied: the maleic anhydride and peroxide concentrations, rotor speed, and reaction time.
