Recycling of Polymer-Based Multilayer Packaging: A Review

Recycling, 2017
Polymer-based multilayer packaging materials are commonly used in order to combine the respective performance of different polymers. By this approach, the tailored functionality of packaging concepts is created to sufficiently protect sensitive food ...

Interactions, structure and properties in poly(lactic acid)/thermoplastic polymer blends [PDF]

, 2014
Blends were prepared from poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and three thermoplastics, polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Rheological and mechanical properties, structure and component interactions were determined by various ...

Local Miracle Compatibilism [PDF]

Noûs, 2003
To those people who have not spent much time thinking about the problem of free will, it seems that we frequently have the ability to do otherwise than what we do. Provided I am not subject to any compulsions or coercive forces (addiction, bondage, someone holding a gun to my head, and so on), I am able now to raise my hand, drink some water, read the ...

Unlocking superior properties in polypropylene/polyethylene terephthalate (PP/PET) blends using an ethylene-butylene-acrylate terpolymer reactive compatibilizer

Polymer Testing
The increasing global plastic production has created an urgent demand for energy-efficient processes to transform mixed plastic waste into value-added products via upcycling. Compatibilization of polypropylene (PP) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET),

Is compatibility critical in polymer engineering?

Advanced Industrial and Engineering Polymer Research
The paper focuses on the necessity for compatibilization in polymer blends and composites due to the differing chemical nature of the components, which causes antagonism on the contacting surfaces. To achieve stable polymer blends and composites with the

Highly toughened polylactide with novel sliding graft copolymer by in situ reactive compatibilization, crosslinking and chain extension [PDF]

, 2014
YesThe “sliding graft copolymer” (SGC), in which many linear poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) side chains are bound to cyclodextrin rings of a polyrotaxane (PR), was prepared and employed to toughen brittle polylactide (PLA) with methylene diphenyl diisocyanate

Compatibilization phenomenon in polymer science and technology: Chemical aspects

Advanced Industrial and Engineering Polymer Research
Polymer blends are mixtures of two or more macromolecular species – polymers and/or copolymers. They are used to increase the range of properties available from existing polymers without synthesizing new ones, which is time consuming and expensive.
