Abstract

Blending with high-performance engineering polymers is a feasible way of upgrading the properties of commodity thermoplastics. The aim of blending is often to improve the mechanical strength or toughness or, for example, the thermal resistance of the matrix polymer. Addition of conventional thermoplastics such as polyamides or polyesters, to polyolefins improves the properties, however, only to a relatively small extent. Completely different phenomena are instead achieved when thermotropic main-chain liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) are used.Keywordspolymer blendliquid crystalline polymer (LCP)morphologycompatibilizationprocessingpolymer reinforcement in situ composites
