Abstract
The present paper aims at providing an overview of the literature on clay-mediated compatibilization of immiscible polyethylene/polyamide blends with droplet morphology. Experimental results from structural investigation techniques at different length scales, as well as rheometrical and mechanical tests are discussed, and the mechanisms responsible for compatibilization are addressed for both PA matrix and PE matrix blend-based nanocomposites. Finally, the clay-mediated compatibilizing effect, in terms of droplet morphology refinement and stabilization, as well as improvement of interfacial adhesion, is compared to graft copolymer-mediated macromolecular compatibilization.
