Abstract
In-situ compatibilization of blends has been studied for the system oxazoli ne grafted polypropylene/carboxylic acid terminated polystyrene. The reacti ve blends exhibit much finer morphologies than the corresponding nonreactiv e systems. Morphology is shown to depend on the degree of functionalization , viscosity ratio, blend composition, and mixing conditions.
