Elastomer blends blend morphology, kinetics

The blends of polyamides (PA) with various modified elastomers and polyolefins became the most common research platform for studying the fundamentals of reactive polymer blending. The favorable reactivity between the primary amine of the PA and anhydride in the second phase enabled researchers to examine many of the fundamental issues of reactive blending including, kinetics, characteristics of newly formed interfaces, morphology effect, and mechanics of failure to mention only a few. As will be seen later, this system has become one of the most significant commercial examples of reactive blending...
