The reactive compatibilization of LLDPE/PS (50/50 wt%) was achieved by Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction with a combined Lewis acids (Me3SiCl and InCl3 center dot 4H(2)O) as catalyst. The graft copolymer at the interface was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the morphology of the blends was analysized by scanning electron microscopy. It was found that the combined Lewis acids had catalytic effect on Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction between LLDPE and PS, and the catalytic effect was maximal when the molar ratio of InCl3 center dot 4H(2)O to Me3SiCl was 1:5. The graft copolymer LLDPE-g-PS was formed via the F-C reaction and worked as a tailor-made compatibilizer to reduce the interfacial tension. The mechanical properties of reactive blend with combined Lewis acids as catalyst was notably improved compared to that of physical LLDPE/PS blend and serious degradation had been decreased compared to the reactive blend system with AlCl3 as catalyst; we interpreted the above results in term of acidity of combined Lewis acids.
