Over the last century, polymer processes involving a gas or supercritical fluid (SCF) have
attracted significant attention. The attributes of a gas/SCF in polymers benefited many …

A novel strategy was designed for the preparation of a long-chain branched polypropylene
(PP) with improved foamability via reactive extrusion in the presence of supercritical CO 2 …

Physico-chemical properties of polypropylene (PP) composites can be tailored through the
use of organoclay fillers in the presence or absence of compatibilizer. In this study …

Polypropylene (PP) is sometimes functionalized with polar molecules like maleic anhydride
(MA) to improve interfacial adhesion and to allow for reactive compatibilization. The …

The reactive extrusion of maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP‐g‐MAH) with
ethylenediamine (EDA) as coupling agent is carried out in a corotating twin‐screw extruder …

Solid‐state shear pulverization (SSSP) is a unique processing technique for
mechanochemical modification of polymers, compatibilization of polymer blends, and …

In this work, the possibility of preparing cross-linked polypropylene (PP) via Diels–Alder
(DA) chemistry is explored. The overall strategy involves reaction of maleated polypropylene …

Understanding the dissociation behavior of functional polymers can help tailor materials for
performance in target applications. Polypropylene‐graft‐maleic anhydride (PP‐g‐MA) …

Ductile functionalized polypropylene is of great interest in multi-layer composites
development. A capped-end triblock polyether diamine (H 2 N-PO 2-TMO 9-PO 3-NH 2) was …

A Monte Carlo model is employed to investigate the grafting of maleic anhydride onto
polypropylene using a peroxide initiator. The study aimed to develop a comprehensive …
