Abstract
Summary: This communication describes the compatibilization efficiency of organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) in immiscible polycarbonate (PC)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blends for the first time. The size of the dispersed PC particles was reduced significantly upon the addition of OMMT (6 wt.โ%) to the blend. The compatibilization effect of the OMMT was also assessed by differential scanning calorimetry, mechanical properties and thermal stability analysis of the modified blend.

## Abstract **Summary:** This communication describes the effect of organic modifier miscibility with the matrices, and the effect of the initial interlayer spacing of the organoclay, on the overall morphology and properties of an immiscible polycarbonate/poly(methyl methacrylate) blend. By varying
A polymeric blend system of nylon 6 and a core-shell impact modifier was studied. The modifier had a poly(butyl acrylate) core and a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) shell compatibilized with an epoxy resin, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA). The compatibilization of DGEBA is achieved by the r
