Reactive polymers for blend compatibilization
AbstractBlending of immiscible polymers offers attractive opportunities for developing new materials with useful combinations of properties. However, simple blends often have poor mechanical properties and unstable morphologies. Compatibilization of such blends is necessary.

Effect of the viscosity ratio on the PLA/PA10.10 bioblends morphology and mechanical properties [PDF]
PLA bio-blends with a predominantly biosourced PA10.10 in the composition range 10-50wt.% were prepared by melt blending in order to overcome the advanced brittleness of PLA.

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

PLA/PA bio-blends: induced morphology by extrusion [PDF]
The effect of processing conditions on the final morphology of Poly(Lactic Acid) (PLA) with bio-based Polyamide 10.10 (PA) 70/30 blends is analyzed in this paper. Two types of PLA were used: Commercial (neat PLA) and a rheologically modified PLA (PLAREx),

Reactive Comb Polymer Compatibilized Immiscible PVDF/PLLA Blends: Effects of the Main Chain Structure of Compatibilizer [PDF]
The compatibilizer with double comb structure has a superior compatibilizing effect for immiscible polymer blends due to the symmetrical structure on both sides of main chains. Extensive study related to the architectural effects of compatibilizer on the compatibilization has mainly focused on the side chains.
