The compatibility of nylon 11/polyethylene (PE) alloys on addition of reactive maleated ethylenepropylene-diene copolymer (EPDM-graft-MAH) was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, morphological observations and rheology. The decrease in the differential volume of the melting temperature of nylon 11 and PE with increasing compatibilizer suggests that the addition of EPDMgraft-MAH affects the crystalline behavior of nylon 11 and PE. The decreased particle size of the dispersed phase also confirmed the improvement in the compatibility. The rheological behavior revealed that the addition of the compatibilizer enhanced the apparent viscosity of the melting blends, which resulted from the increasing interaction between the chains due to the improvement in compatibility of nylon 11 and PE.
Reaction of unactivated alkenes affords various fluoroalkyl-containing alkyl sulfonyl fluorides with good functional group tolerance under mild conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
