Copolymers, block glycidyl methacrylate containing

Compatibilisers are intentional additives, incorporated into multi-component, multiphase polymer systems. They are usually block copolymers, whose segments are soluble in different components of the mixture. Compatibilisers can be reactive (if they form bonds with one of the polymers in the mixture) with reactive groups like acrylic or methacrylic, maleic anhydride, or glycidyl methacrylate), or non-reactive. The main classes of compatibilisers are (a) modified PE and polypropylene-styrene containing polymers, (b) macromonomers, (c) silane-modified materials. 

Radicalized VDC statistical copolymer with Zonyl has been shown to be capable of formation of various block copolymers, which in turn can also be reactive intermediates. This is true with the RBl-200 and RBI-232 products described in Section 4.2, in which the second block contains epoxide groups from glycidyl methacrylate. Another product, called RBI-201, was similar to RBl-200 but contained Zonyl TM segments in the second block (see synthesis procedure in Table 4.3.1).
