Compatibilizers based on polypropylene grafted with itaconic acid derivatives. Effect on polypropylene/polythylene terephhalate blends

Abstract

New types of compatibilizers based on functionalized polypropylene (PP) were synthesized by radical melt grafting either with monomethyl itaconate or dimethyl itaconate. The effect of these new modified PP compounds were tested as compatibilizers in PP/po
