Modification of PP by Blending with PS and Reactive Polymers

In this paper a polypropylene (PP) resin with controlled rheology was selected as polymer matrix and modified by melt mixing with polystyrene (PS) which has certain processing compatibility with PP. The effect of the addition of polyperoxide (PPX), peroxide modified PS particles (PS-PPX), and maleic anhydride (MAH) to the PP/PS blend during melt mixing on the rheological behavior and morphology of the PP/PS blends has been carefully studied.
