therefore, chemical bonding occurs. The organophilic nitrogen will bond with polymer.
Under alloying of polymers, the properties of many plastics can be greatly modified
by alloying two or more polymers. The term is often used interchangeably and
technically : blend is a mixture that are not fully compatible and alloys are mixture that
are fully compatible such as polyethylene oxide and polystyrene. The blend appears as a
separate phase when viewed under the microscope. These combinations are taking over
by mixing known plastics than creating new ones ( Hydrocarbon Process, Modern
One of the problems associated with blends and alloys is how to make the
material. Most compatibilizers are block polymers and they produce an interwoven
Conceptual Process
The concept stems from the idea of surface treatment and modification ¨C that is ¨C
composites or polyblends are produced by alloying two or more chemically distinct and
insoluble phase whose properties and structural performance are better than those
The process starts from surface treatment of additives and polymers that are to be
used by introducing a coupling agents, an interfacial agent, than by grafting the polymer
