The key to preparation of commercially useful blends based on immiscible polymer pairs is compatibilization. Advances over the past ten years have considerably enhanced the understanding of this phenomenon. The selection of an appropriate compatibilizer and the processing technique to enhance the co

The mechanical properties, melt rheology, and morphology of binary blends comprised of two polypropylene (PP) grades and two liquid crystalline polymers (LCP) have been studied. Compatibilization with polypropylene grafted with maleic anhydride (PP-g-MAH) has been attempted. A moderate increase in
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and polystyrene (PS) are immiscible and incompatible and have been well recognized. In this study, styrene maleic anhydride random copolymer (SMA-8 wt % MA) and tetra-glycidyl ether of diphenyl diamino methane (TGDDM) are employed as reactive dual compatibilizers i
