The functionalization of polyolefins is a useful methodology to chemically convert these
extremely important commodities into value-added polymers by generating materials with …

The review is devoted to the fundamental aspects of the reactive processing of thermoplastic
polymers. First of all, some reactive processing examples, including polymer grafting (vinyl …

Graft copolymers of natural rubber and maleic anhydride (NR-g-MA) or maleated natural
rubber (MNR) were synthesized in a toluene solution. Benzoyl peroxide (BPO) was used to …

We report a novel and effective strategy that compatibilizes three immiscible polymers,
polyolefins, styrene polymers, and engineering plastics, achieved by using a polyolefin …

Bamboo is a short-rotation crop yet with high stem strength, possessing evolved pore
network with considerable potential in porous functional material fields. While limited …

This review summarizes the main advances published over the last 15 years outlining the
different methods of grafting, including reactive extruder systems, surface modification …

The functionalization of the ethylene–vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) was carried out in an
internal mixer, using maleic anhydride (MA), dicumyl peroxide (DCP) and styrene monomer …

Polypropylene (PP), as a recyclable thermoplastic polymer, is a promising insulating
material for application as an environmentally friendly insulation layer in high-voltage-direct …

Despite the key to the adhesion between polymers and a plethora of materials, our
understanding of reactive wetting is still rudimentary. In the present work, we report the …

This study is based upon the functionalization of polypropylene (PP) by radical
polymerization to optimize its properties by influencing its molecular weight. Grafting of PP …
