✦ Synopsis
Blends of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polystyrene (PS), and an SEBS triblock copolymer were extruded, pelletized, and injection molded. The binary HDPE-PS blends exhibit very poor ductibility; however, addition of the SEBS block copolymer greatly improves this characteristic but with an accompanying loss in strength and modulus. The modified blends are very tough and have mechanical properties suitable for many end use applications. However, weld lines pose a problem and should be avoided with these blends.

## Abstract In this study, the mechanical properties of in situ polymerized PS/EPDM blends with different composition were evaluated before and after accelerated photoaging and compared with the properties of commercial HIPS submitted to similar aging conditions (ASTM G53). The mechanical propertie
The mechanical properties of blends of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with a recycled thermosetting filler, urea-formaldehyde grit (UFG), were evaluated in the range of 0 -23% of filler by volume. Ethylene-acrylic acid (EAA) copolymers and an ionomer based on EAA were evaluated as compatibilizers.
Isotactic polypropylene blends with 0-20 vol % thermoplastic elastomers were prepared to study the influence of elastomer particle size on mechanical properties. Polystyrene-block-poly(ethene-co-but-1-ene)-block-polystyrene (SEBS) was used as thermoplastic elastomer. SEBS particle size, determined b
