Use of monomethyl Itaconate grafted poly(propylene) (PP) and ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) as compatibilizers for PP/EPR blends

Abstract

The use of grafted poly(propylene) (PP) and a random copolymer of ethylene and propylene (EPR) with an itaconic acid derivative, monomethyl itaconate (MMI), as compatibilizer for PP/EPR blends was analyzed. The grafting reaction was performed at 190 °C in
