ABS composites with cellulose fibers: Towards fiber-matrix adhesion without surface modification
Aiming for a cost-effective and environmentally friendly material, we propose the replacement of glass fiber/poly(acrylonitrile-co-butadiene-co-styrene) (ABS) composites by composites with cellulosic reinforcing agents.

Compatibility, Morphology, Mechanical Properties and Biodegradability of Poly(styrene-ethylene-propylenestyrene)/ Modified Thermoplastic Starch Blends [PDF]
The effect of modified starch on the properties of poly(styrene-ethylenepropylene- styrene) tri-block copolymer was studied. Chemical treatment of starch with maleic anhydride was accomplished in an internal mixer in the presence of glycerol.

Morphologies and Thermal Variability of Patterned Polymer Films with Poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) [PDF]
Patterned films of poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) copolymers were deposited by dip-coating from acetone solutions. A qualitative study of the film morphologies shows the formation of polymer spheres with smaller diameters at higher amounts of maleic anhydride (MA), and long-fibrous features at higher molecular weights.
