Abstract:In this article, nonpolar polyethylene with polar poly(vinyl chloride) is considered as a polymer-polymer mixture. Direct mixing of poly(vinyl chloride) and polyolefins leads to the formation of incompatible mixtures that have weak complex properties. To form this mixture, chlorinated polyethylene and a copolymer of polyvinyl chloride with polyethylene were used as compatibilizers. An extreme relationship of the elastic modulus on the composition of the blend at a PE content (5-20 wt.%) was revealed. The use o… Show more
