Cross-linking and grafting reactions are made possible by the introduction of GMA functionality, which modifies the microstructure and consequently the mechanical behavior.
The blend’s mechanical qualities, thermal stability, and processability are improved by the compatibilizer, GMA functional polyester elastomer.
Grafting maleic anhydride greatly improves polypropylene’s mechanical qualities.
Maleic anhydride is grafted onto the polypropylene backbone to improve compatibility and adhesion with polar substrates and other polymers.
Within the polymer matrix, light scattering, phase separation, and refractive index matching can be impacted by the choice, concentration, and shape of impact modifiers.
To sum up, in composite and adhesive applications, maleic anhydride grafting greatly enhances the adherence of LLDPE to other materials.
The mechanical characteristics of LLDPE, particularly its tensile strength and elongation, are greatly impacted by maleic anhydride grafting.
There are a number of benefits that maleic anhydride grafted LLDPE has over untreated LLDPE, especially in terms of heat resistance and barrier qualities.
Maleic anhydride grafting is an effective method for changing polypropylene’s surface characteristics.
