Abstract
A compatibilizer composition and thermoplastic blends thereof having improved impact properties and tensile properties are described herein. The compatibilizer composition consists of a non-reactive component and a reactive component selected to improve miscibility of the matrix resin components, as well as improve the physical properties of the resulting thermoplastic blend. Further, a method of improving the physical properties of a thermoplastic blend is described.
Claims56
A compatibilizer composition for a thermoplastic blend comprising:
- at least one reactive component, and
- at least one non-reactive component,
- wherein the compatibilizer composition is configured to modify a matrix resin comprising a first component with a first solubility parameter and a second component with a second solubility parameter;
- and the reactive component reactive with the first component and has a reactive component solubility parameter between the first solubility parameter and the second solubility parameter.
