## Abstract Inorganic clay was investigated as a compatibilizer for immiscible poly(propylene)/polystyrene blends. A substantial decrease in the number of polystyrene particles was seen after adding small amounts of an organically treated clay (2โ5 wt.โ%) to the blends. A possible mechanism for thi

Blends of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) with very lowdensity polyethylene (VLDPE) have been studied. The blends are immiscible owing to the differences in the polarities of the component polymers. Thermal studies using a differential scanning calorimeter showed that the blending does not change t
## 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 th
