Compatibilizators
Compatibilizators, or compatibilizers, are additives used to improve the compatibility of immiscible polymers in blends and to enhance interfacial adhesion between a polymer matrix and a filler or reinforcing phase. They enable better dispersion of one phase within another and can improve mechanical properties, impact resistance, and processing stability in multicomponent systems.
There are two main categories. Reactive compatibilizers are functionalized polymers or graft copolymers that react during
Mechanistically, compatibilizers migrate to the interface between immiscible domains, lower interfacial tension, and form an interfacial
Applications span automotive, packaging, construction, and electronics, including polypropylene/polyethylene blends, polyamide blends with polyolefins, and polymer-reinforced
