The effect of styrene maleic anhydride compatibilizer on the performance of polycarbonate/acrylonitrile butadiene styrene blends

Preparation of epoxy-functionalized AES (GAES) resins by high-temperature bulk polymerization

“…At present, the functional monomers, such as acrylic acid (AA), maleic anhydride (MAH) [20], glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) [21,22], were often used most in the studies of functionalization of ABS resins [23]. During the process of melt blending, the reactive groups can react with the inherent groups of polyesters to form block or graft copolymers in situ at interface of two phases, which improve the compatibility of two phases [24]. The current research primarily employ the melt extrusion or emulsion polymerization methods.…”

FT-IR combined with oscillatory rheology: How to evaluate chemical structure of ester derivatives of MA-containing compatibilizers

“…Compatibilizing additives are highly needed in the vast majority of cases to enhance compatibility between the components in various plastic and rubber composites and blends [ [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] ]. More advantageous mechanical, thermal and rheological properties can be achieved through compatibilization in a composite due to the improved interactions and solubility during product development, whether it concerns original or waste raw materials [ [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] ]. Commercial compatibilizing additives and coupling agents can be categorized into two main groups based on their chemical structures: silane-type and maleic anhydride (MA) containing polymer-type [ [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] ].…”
