Compounding Polymer Blends

  • Reference work entry
Polymer Blends Handbook

Abstract

Cost of polymer alloys is mainly determined by the composition. By contrast, the profit that is based on the alloys’ performance is controlled by the way the material is put together, i.e., by the morphology and its stability. The compounding process must ascertain that the alloy has the desired spectrum of the performance characteristics. Undoubtedly, compounding is the most critical and difficult step in the polymer blends’ technology. It must combine the fundamental knowledge of thermodynamic and rheological material behavior, with engineering aspects of flow inside the mixing machines. Furthermore, since nowadays about 90% of blends are reactively compatibilized, good knowledge of polymer chemistry is essential.
