Interphase and compatibilization of polymer blends

Open access
Ajji, Abdellah, Utracki, L. A.·1996·Polymer Engineering & Science

Abstract

Polymer blends are mixtures of at least two polymers and/or copolymers comprising more than 2 wt% of each macromolecular component. Most blends are immiscible, and need to be compatibilized. The compatibilization must not only ensure improvement in performance, but it must be reproducible, insensitive to forming stresses and repeated processing. This review on compatibilization of polymer blends is prepared in three parts: (i) description of the interface/interphase; (ii) compatibilization by addition of a copolymer (with a special emphasis on the use of block copolymers); and (iii) reactive compatibilization.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
