Melt rheological properties of blends of polypropylene (PP) and PP grafted with maleic anhydride (PP-g-MA) are studied using a capillary rheometer. A pseudoplastic flow behavior is observed. The pseudoplasticity of the melt reduces with an increase of PP-g-MA content and/or temperature. The PP-g-MA

✦ Synopsis
The dynamic viscoelastic properties of polypropylene (PP)-maleated PP blends in the molten state have been investigated with a dynamic mechanical thermal analyzer (PL-DMTA MKII) at a frequency range () of 0.6 ء 10 Ϫ1 -3.14 ء 10 2 rad s Ϫ1 . In the study, the blends were prepared by melt-blending in a twin-screw extruder, using homopolypropylene and an ethylene-propylene copolymer as a matrix, respectively, and PP grafted with maleic anhydride (PP-g-MA) as a second component. It has been found that the data of the blends do not obey the Cox-Merz rule; the plots of log GЈ-log GЉ for the both blends show a composition dependence. It is due to the fact that the two kinds of PP are immiscible with PP-g-MA.
