Compatibilizing Effects of In Situ Formed Block Copolymers in Binary Blends

Abstract

Four types of binary blends—Type A, Type B, Type C, and Type D—were prepared by melt mixing them in a single screw extruder, with an emphasis on the compatibilizing effect of in situ formed block copolymers between MAH-g-PP and nylon 6. The effects were examined in terms of morphological, rheological, thermal, dynamic mechanical, and mechanical properties for four types of binary blends using various methods.
