Chemical Modification of Polypropylene with Organo-functional Silanes
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-05)Conventional polypropylene (PP) suffers at higher service temperatures and its poor melt strength limits its application in some processes. PP also lacks functional groups necessary for good adhesion to synthetic or natural ... -
The Influence of Processing Conditions on the Thermo-physical Properties and Morphology of Polycarbonate / Poly (butylene terephthalate) Blends
(University of Waterloo, 2009-03-12)The objective of this work is to determine the effect of four process variables on the properties of blends composed of bisphenol-A polycarbonate (PC) and poly (butylene terephthalate) (PBT) polymers which are compounded ... -
Polypropylene Modified by Polydimethylsiloxane in Catalytic Cross Metathesis Reactions
(University of Waterloo, 2010-07-09)In this study, we were particularly interested in looking at the possibility that cross metathesis of olefins in melt phase could be used to produce polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) modified polypropylene (PP). The intention ...
