In the present study, ethylene/vinyl alcohol (EVAL) copolymers with different hydroxyl contents were melt mixed with styrene/maleic anhydride (SMA) copolymers. These two copolymers have functional groups capable of reacting intermolecularly, giving stable products. All EVAL copolymers were prepared

β¦ Synopsis
Thermal behaviour and morphology of blends of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) (SMA) prepared by the coprecipitation technique were studied by means of di β erential scanning calorimetry, optical microscopy and thermogravimetry. SMA containing 25 wt% maleic anhydride (MA) was found to be miscible with PEO when the SMA content was greater than 80%. The melting temperature and crystallinity depended on the composition of the blend. SMA appears to segregate interlamellarly during the isothermal crystallization of PEO. The thermal stability of blends was enhanced and was higher than that of pure PEO and SMA.

The miscibility and crystallization behavior of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) ionomer (SMAI) blends were studied by the dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). This study has demonstrated that the presence of ion-dipole intera
Blends of PA 6 with SMA or with 12.5-100% fatty amine (C 18) modified SMA at compositions 95/5-60/40 were studied. Particle size of SMA dispersed in PA 6 matrix was around 0.1 mm due to in situ compatibilizer formation. The strength and stiffness of the blends were higher and toughness unchanged in
The ''miscibility'' and esterification in poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) (PSTMA)/phenoxy blends were investigated by DSC and FTIR. The blends prepared by casting exhibited a single composition-dependent but broad T g during the first scanning. The broadness of the T g transition range is due to t
Using direct polymer reaction of poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) (SMA), a synthesis of copolymer of styrene and N-aryl succinimide (SMI) has been investigated. SMI copolymers were synthesized from SMA copolymers by a concerted two-step reaction, which consisted of the condensation reaction (step 1
Blends of a poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) (SAN) with poly(ethene-co-1-octene) rubber (EOR) were investigated. An improved toughness-stiffness balance was obtained when adding as a compatibilizer a blend consisting of oxazoline-functionalized EOR, prepared by grafting EOR with oxazoline-functional m
