Polypropylene composites with fine particles of poly(styrene-divinylbenzene)
Polypropylene composites were prepared by copolymerizing styrene and divinylbenzene in molten polypropylene by using an extruder. The resultant copolymers are of very fine particles uniformly dispersed in polypropylene phase with no aggregation. The properties of the resultant polypropylene composites were studied: crystalline structure, and mechanical, dynamic viscoelastic, and thermal properties.
