Compatibilization of Immiscible Poly(propylene)/Polystyrene Blends Using Clay

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated inorganic clay as a compatibilizer for immiscible poly(propylene)/polystyrene blends and found that a substantial decrease in the number of polystyrene particles was seen after adding small amounts of an organically treated clay (2-5 wt.-%) to the blends.

Compatibilizing effect of a filler in binary polymer mixtures

TL;DR: The thermodynamics of mixing of two miscible or immiscible polymers with a solid has been considered in this paper, and it is shown theoretically that the introduction of a specific filler in binary polymer mixtures increases the thermodynamic stability of the ternary system.
