Improved mechanical and thermal properties of polypropylene blends based on diethanolamine-plasticized corn starch via in situ reactive compatibilization

, 2013
Starch-based polymer blends are able to alleviate the environmental concerns. However, they usually suffer poor mechanical properties. Here, we first prepared plasticized starch using diethanolamine as a reactive plasticizer and then fabricated ...

Compatibilization of Polymer Blends

, 2002
Most polymer blends are immiscible and need to be compatibilized. The compatibilization must accomplish: (i) optimization of the interfacial tension, i.e., the degree of dispersion; (ii) stabilize the morphology against high stresses during forming, and (

Reactive compatibilization of PHBV/PCL blends: Structure-property relationships, thermoformability and industrial compostability

Polymer Testing
Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) is a promising biopolymer for packaging applications due to its high stiffness and excellent barrier performance, but its intrinsic brittleness and narrow processing window hinder its industrial ...

Improvements in the Rheological Properties, Impact Strength, and the Biodegradability of PLA/PCL Blend Compatibilized by Electron-Beam Irradiation in the Presence of a Reactive Agent

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2018
In this study, we blended poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) into poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and compatibilized these PLA/PCL blends by electron-beam irradiation in the presence of a reactive agent to overcome drawbacks of PLA.
