## Abstract A reactive compatibilizer, styrene‐maleic anhydride (SMA) was used to compatibilize the blends of polystyrene (PS) and ethylene‐vinyl acetate‐vinyl alcohol (EVAOH), which was synthesized from ethylene‐vinyl acetate (EVA) using transesterification reaction. The compatibilized blends with

## Abstract This study examined ethylene–vinyl acetate (EVA)‐toughened polystyrene (PS). EVA is well‐known to be incompatible with PS; thus, the PS graft to the EVA backbone (EVA‐__g__‐PS) was used as a compatibilizer and provided good adhesion at the interface of PS and EVA. In addition, the mecha
Blends of poly[ethylene(vinylacetate) ] (EVAc-45; 45% VAc content) and polychloroprene (CR) have been studied with respect to capillary and dynamic flow. It is found that EVAc-45, CR, and their blends are shear thinning (pseudoplastic) in nature. Though shear viscosity ( h a ) and dynamic out-of-ph
