Immıscible polymethyl methacrylate/polystyrene (PMMA/PS) mixtures with various maleic anhydride-styrene-methyl methacrylate (MAStMMA) compatibilizer ratio (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10) % were obtained by solution casting. The spectral results showed that the optical constants such as refractive index (n), extinction coefficient (k) absorption increase increasing terpolymer ratio. On other hand, energy...

The effect of compatibilizer - ethylene-n-octene copolymer grafted with maleic anhydride(EOC-g-MAH) used in the amount 3 wt% on tensile and flexural properties impact strengthof bioPET addition 10 filler derived from organic waste (egg mollusc shells, coffeegrounds) was investigated. EOC-g-MAH slightly decreased strength, andmodulus elasticity, while significantly increasing strength (up to 426...

Bamboo flour (BF) was grafted onto lactide (LA) in the molten state using stannous octoate as a catalyst to form BF-g-LA. Then, polylactic acid (PLA) was blended with BF (PLA/BF, 85/15 wt %) to prepare PLA/BF/BF-g-LA composites using BF-g-LA as a compatibilizer. The grafting rate of BF was characterized using infrared testing and elemental analysis. To investigate the effect of BF-g-LA on the p...
