Eor polypropylene/polyamide/grafted rubber ternary blends, TEM was proved to be a good tool to study their phase morphology. Without grafting, EPR (217) or SEBS (218) formed dispersed particles together with the minor component of the blends separately however, after grafting with maleic anhydride they could encapsulate the dispersed minor component of the blends (214,217-221).

The hterature notes many other polyamide hoUow fibers, none of which have achieved significant commercial success. Included in this category are such polymers (some of which are cross-linked) as piperazinamides, hydrazine, substituted acrylamide, and modified and grafted nylons. 

Grafting can also occur in the amide nitrogen, either through an anionic-type mechanism which is beheved to operate when ethylene oxide [75-21 -8] and similar copolymers are grafted to polyamides, or through a polycondensation mechanism when secondary amides are formed as graft copolymers (70). 

Molded polyamide surfaces can be hardened by grafting with Ai,Ai-diallylacrylamide [3085-68-5] monomer under exposure to electron beam (159). AijAZ-DiaHyltartardiamide [58477-85-3] is a cross-linking agent for acrylamide reversible gels in electrophoresis. Such gels can be dissolved by a dilute periodic acid solution in order to recover protein fractions. 

The blending of PPO and polyamides requires special grafting techniques to give a good bond between the two polymers, as otherwise the two polymers are incompatible. Whilst these polymers show the good dimensional stability and toughness of styrenic PPOs, they also have... 

Nitrile rubber adhesives. The main application corresponds to laminating adhesives. PVC, polyvinyl acetate and other polymeric films can be laminated to several metals, including aluminium and brass, by using NBR adhesives. NBR adhesives can also be used to join medium-to-high polarity rubbers to polyamide substrates. The adhesive properties of NBR rubbers can be further improved by chemical modification using polyisocyanate or by grafting with methyl methacrylate. 

Polypropylene block and graft copolymers are efficient blend compatibilizers. These materials allow the formation of alloys, for example, isotactic polypropylene with styrene-acrylonitrile polymer or polyamides, by enhancing the dispersion of incompatible polymers and improving their interfacial adhesion. Polyolefinic materials of such types afford property synergisms such as improved stiffness combined with greater toughness. 

Els and McGill [48] reported the action of maleic anhydride on polypropylene-polyisoprene blends. A graft copolymer was found in situ through the modifier, which later enhanced the overall performance of the blend. Scott and Macosko [49] studied the reactive and nonreactive compatibilization of nylon-ethylene-propylene rubber blends. The nonreactive polyamide-ethylene propylene blends showed poor interfacial adhesion between the phases. The reactive polyamide-ethylene propylene-maleic anhydride modified blends showed excellent adhesion and much smaller dispersed phase domain size. 

Greco et al. [50] studied the effect of the reactive compatibilization technique in ethylene propylene rubber-polyamide-6 blends. Binary blends of polyamide-6-ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) and a ternary blend of polyamide-6-EPR-EPR-g-succinic anhydride were prepared by the melt mixing technique, and the influence of the degree of grafting of (EPR-g-SA) on morphology and mechanical properties of the blends was studied. 

Advanced development of ion-selective films has been attempted by radiation grafting of methacrylic acid on polyethylene films, and combination of this with cellophane are also being tested. Polyamide fleece impregnated with regenerated cellulose, is another option for zinc-silver oxide batteries.
