Progress of compatibilization methods in polymer blends
Compatibilization of immiscible polymer blends is by far the most general and efficient strategy to convert multiphase polymer blends with poor miscibility into high performance polymer alloys. The concept and necessity of compatibilization of immiscible

Ionic Compatibilization of Polymers [PDF]
The small specific entropy of mixing of high molecular weight polymers implies that most blends of dissimilar polymers are immiscible with poor physical properties. Historically, a wide range of compatibilization strategies have been pursued, including the addition of copolymers or emulsifiers or installing complementary reactive groups that can ...

ABS/Recycled PCTG blend compatibilized with SBS: effect on mechanical properties and morphology
The reuse of plastic polymers is one of the ways to reduce the negative environmental impact caused by these products. This work presents a study of mechanical and morphological properties of ABS and PCTG residue blend using SBS as compatibilizing agent ...

In this work, the effectiveness of seven commercial compatibilizers is tested in polylactide (PLA)/poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) blends with different compositions to obtain a high‐impact PLA. None of the compatibilizers is effective for 90/10 and 80/20 PLA/

Programmable Budding and Fission of Janus Polymersomes for Tunable Cargo Release
A thermodynamic framework establishes the conditions for the formation of kinetically stable Janus polymersomes using a solvent‐assisted strategy. Osmotic stress subsequently drives their membrane remodeling from reversible budding to controlled fission.
