Abstract In this work, polylactic acid (PLA)/copolymer blends were prepared by melt blending. Ethylene‐glycidyl methacrylate (E‐GMA) and ethylene‐butyl acrylate‐maleic anhydride (EBA‐MAH) functional block copolymers used. A ternary blend of PLA/E‐GMA/EBA‐MAH was also studied. FTIR analyses evidenced the occurrence reactive compatibilization E‐GMA EBA‐MAH with PLA in binary due to reactivity GMA MAH groups terminal hydroxyl carboxyl PLA. Rheological measurements cross‐link reactions between...

This study investigates the influence of a ethylene-glycidyl methacrylate copolymer (EGMA) on shape memory effect (SME) and impact resistance PETG/EGMA thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs). The TPVs were prepared by dynamic vulcanization through simple melt blending polymers without need for curing agents such as DCP or sulfur. Simultaneously, in situ reactive compatibilization was achieved solely, any compatibilizer. SME, mechanical, thermomechanical, rheological, chemical, morphological...

ABSTRACT The rapid increase in waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) poses a significant environmental challenge. To address this issue, initiatives promoting circular economy principles have emerged, such as utilizing recycled acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABSr) high‐impact polystyrene (HIPSr) from WEEE. This study evaluated the properties of virgin ABS (ABSv)/ABSr ABSv/HIPSr blends, with ABSr HIPSr obtained TV housing blend samples were prepared using filament extrusion,...

Abstract Depending on the conditions of polymer synthesis, polyethylene can exhibit various molecular structures, such as long and short-chain branching, which influence its weight distribution. The structure in blend significantly impacts properties, making it essential to study these effects blend’s final properties. Based above, this work aims investigate 1-hexene short chain branching (SCB) linear low-density (LLDPE) (LCB) (LDPE) polymers rheological properties processing blends with...

In this work, Polylactide/Biopolyethylene blends were developed. Although some studies have been carried out on polylactide/polyethylene blends, none of them has used polyethylene synthesized with raw material obtained from natural sources. Due to the incompatibility between polylactide and polyethylene, E-GMA EMA-GMA compatibilizers used. These present glycidyl methacrylate groups in their structure, which may react functional end-groups polylactide. To evaluate properties, characterized by...
