PP/PET/EPDM-g-GMA blends were prepared via reactive melt blending. The morphology of the blends was analysized using SEM and image processing software, which confirmed that the compatibility of PP and PET was improved by EPDM-g-GMA，Isothermal crystallization of the blends were observed using polarizing microscope, it was found that the dimension and distribution of the spherulites became finer via using nucleating agent. The dimension of PP spherulites decreased with the inclusion of PET. EPDM-g-GMA not only compatibilized but also toughened the system, making the impact strength increased from 2 .2kJ/mzto6 .5kJ/m2 and the tensile modulus increased by 38 .6%compared with neat PP. The tensile strength decreased with increasing PET content, YP/PET/EYDM-g-GMA had no obvious effect on this property.

It aconic acid grafted polyethylene(PE-HD-g-ITA)was prepared via melt grafting through twin screw extrusion. The grafting was confirmed using FTIR, and the effects of concentrations of monomers and initiator on the graft ratio and melt flow rate of PE-HD-g-ITA were studied. The PE-HD-g-ITA was introduced into PA6/PE-I} blends through twin screw extrusion. The impact strength of the PA6 /PE-日I)blends containing PE-HD-g-ITA was 1 .7 times higher than neat PA6. SEM showed that the interface between PA6 and PE-日D became smeared and the dispersion phase size significantly reduced，which indicated an effective compatilization. DSC showed PE-HD-g-ITA did not affect the melt point ( Tm ) of both phases , whereas the degree of crystallinity for PA6 phase decreased slightly，that for PE-HD phase increased obviously.

Polyethylene with a broad molecular weight distribution was prepared using hybrid catalysts in presence of montmorillonite nanocomposites forming a composite in situ. The exfoliation of the layeyed silicates in the composites was confirmed by XRD and TEM observation. The broad molecular weight distribution characteristic for the composites was revealed by the GPC profile (MW/Mn=7 .23)，which was mainly due to different response to hydrogen regulation for active sites generated by hybrid catalysts. The composite gave rise to an elongation at break of 900%and a tensile strength of 40 MPa.

Temperature difference blending (TDB) was applied to the preparation of PP/TLCP in situ reinforcement composites. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) revealed that the deformation of TL-CP from droplets to fibrils in PP/TLCP system was affected by the content of the TLCP. While the loading of TLCP approached 30%，TLCP fibrils took preferred orientation in both skin and core of the composites. The tensile strength and modulus increased with increasing content of TLCP (below 20%) at a cost of decreasing elongation at break.

Blends of poly(phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone)(PPESK ) and polyarylate ( PAR)were prepared via melt mixing. The miscibility, processability, and thermal/mechanical properties of the blends were investigated using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA)，scanning electron micro-scope ( SEM )，and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA).DMTA revealed the partial miscibility of the blends. PAR strongly promoted the processability of the blends, however, reduced their thern}al stability.

Reactor blends of PE-HD/poly(ethylene-co-1-butene) with broad or bimodal molecular weight distribution for large hollow containers were synthesized in a two-stage slurry polymerization process.The mechanical and rheological properties of the blends were measured. It showed that the density, melting point decreased and the environmental stress cracking ( ESCRFSo)increased with increasing 1-butene content in the blend. The stiffness of the blends depended on the degree of crystallinity. A balance of the mechanical and processing butene content and the weight ratio of properties could be obtained by adjusting hydrogen added, the 1butene onents and the weight ratio of components.

This paper studied the relationship between mechanical properties and density of expanded polystyrene and polyethylene. Theenergy-absorption increased with increasing strain, and the energy absorption efficiency increased with increasing stress. At constant stress the plot of energy absorption efficiency against densityexhibited a parabola-like curve with a maximum, which provided an effective way for the choice of foam materials.

Poly(butylene succinate)(PBS)microcapsules were prepared via emulsion solvent evapora- tion process, with different amount of pigment loading. The dian meters and morphology of microcapsules were characterized uisng SEM, TEM and particle size distributio in analyzer. Colorimeter and fluorescent photometer were used to measure the chroma and fluorescence. It was found that microcapsules showed regular morphology and dispersibility, when the ratios of pigmen t to PBS were 1:1, 2:1 and 3 :1( due to product M,M2,M3). The mean diameter of M1, M2, M3 was 12.3 μm, 10.5 μm and 12.5 μm, respectively. The pigment in microcapsules( M1, M2, and M3) was more vivider than pure powder of pigment, and their fluorescence was still maintained.

Silica was modified with hexamethyldisilazane and hexamethyltrisiloxane(D3) via dry method. The influence of pre-treatment temperature on gel time and mechanical properties of modified silica filled polydimethylsiloxane system wasstudied.Modified silica was examined by Fourier transfor- mation infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)，X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),and dispersion in sol vent. The mechanical properties of modified silica filled polydimethylsiloxane system were also investi- gated. The results reveal that Me3Si-and-Me2Si moieties were grafted on the surface of silica. When pre-treatment temperature was increased, the gel time of silica filled polydimethylsiloxane system increased and mechanical properties decreased. With silica content increasing, the tensile strength and stress at 100 % elongation increased.

By the aid of ultrasonic vibration, a novel propylene based plastomer (DP)/nano-SiOz composits was prepared by means of melt blending. The effects of ultrasonic wave on morphology, dynamic mechanical properties, and crystallization properties of the composite were studied. Ultrasonic vibration promoted the dispersion of nano-SiO2 in DP matrix, thus increased the storage modulus and decreased of loss modular. In addition, the presence of nano-Siq increased the crystallization temperature, however,the crystallization enthalpy decreased

Polypropylene was melt grafted with 2-trimethyla immonium ethyl methacrylate chloride(DMC)and styrene(St). When the content of initiator ( dicumyl peroxide, DCP) was 0.6 phr, molar ratio of DMC and St was 1:1, a maximum grafting of DMC was achieved. The tensile and impact strength of the grafted PP were similar to neat PP. During cry istallization, the nucleation density and the total crystallization rate of the grafted PP were larger, the half time of crystallization ( t1/2) was shorter and the crystallization temperature( Tc) was higher than neat PP.

By means of soapless emulsion polymerization, graft polymerization of styrene(St) onto the surface ofalkyl nanoTiO2 was carried out, resulting in composite particles with TiO2, core and a polymer shell.Polystyrene(PS)ischemically attached onto the nanoparticles by a double bond introduced during the pretreatment with a coupling agent. Through analyzing the reaction mechanism, the emulsion poly- merization site was found to besituatedatthe TiO2 surface. The factors affecting the grafting yielding o PS on the particles were also investigated, including monomer concentration, emulsion agent content, and reaction time, an optimum grafting reaction condition was determined. The structural characteris-tics of the grafting polymers can betailored by changing the reaction conditions. This provided possibili-ties for optimizing the structure-property relationships of polymer composites filled with the modifiec nano-TiO2 particles in the future works.

The effect of strain rate(v) on the tensile behavior of PBT was studied. As the loading rate grew, the fractography transformed from ductile to brittle. The flat region ratio(Ap/Ao)increased rapidly with increasing loading rate initially and leveled off at 1000 mm/min. The study also showed that the roughness of fracture surface(Rs) increased linearly w ith strain rate according to Rs=2.10-4.72x10-4v. The yield stress( σy) increased rapidly with increasing strain rate and leveled off at 1000 mm/min. And the relationship between the yield stress and the strain rate was consistent with Eyring theory, and could be explained by the molecular chain sliding mechanics.
