Polyethylene-grafted maleic anhydride PE-g-MA

In one study, rPP and recycled polyethylene (rPE) were blended with two compatibilisers, polyethylene-grafted-maleic anhydride (PE-g-MA) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) copolymer, and OMMT [56]. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs showed that the blend with EPDM exhibited a better compatibilisation than PE-g-MA. The presence of OMMT caused an increase of the storage modulus and loss modulus additionally, OMMT improved the thermal stability.
