POLYMER BLENDS BASED ON FUNCTIONALIZED POLYOLEFINS PHASE INTERACTIONS AND PROPERTIES

摘要

Polymer blends based on polyolefins constitute materials of great interest owing to their broad spectrum of properties and practical applications. However, as a consequence of the immiscibility of the components, these systems are generally characterized by high interfacial tension, low degree of dispersion and poor adhesion between the phases that markedly affect the Theological, physical and mechanical behaviour. The control and improvement of the performances of these blends are determined by the availability of methods of enhancing the compatibility of the polymer components.
