TL;DR: In this article, a comparative study of the morphology and the mechanical behavior of modified low-density polyethylene/polystyrene blends demonstrates that a tapered diblock is more efficient than a pure Diblock with the same composition and molecular weight.
Abstract: Poly(hydrogenated butadiene-b-styrene) copolymers are very effective emulsifiers for blends of polystyrene and low-density or high-density polyethylene. It is shown that the extent of improvement in mechanical properties is dependent not only on the molecular weight but also on the structure of the diblock copolymer. A comparative study of the morphology and the mechanical behavior of modified low-density polyethylene/polystyrene blends demonstrates that a tapered diblock is more efficient than a pure diblock with the same composition and molecular weight. It is assumed that the unique behavior of the tapered sample results from its particular miscibility characteristics at the blend interface. The tapered copolymer could behave essentially as a solu-bilizing agent for the homopolymers at the interface and provide a “graded” modulus responsible for the improved mechanical response of the material.

TL;DR: In this article, the thermal behavior and miscibility of amorphous and crystalline polylactides (PDLA and PLLA) with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly (methyl acrylate), along the entire composition interval were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (d.s.c.).
