Preparation and properties of dynamically cured PP/MAH-g-EVA/epoxy blends

A method concerning with the simultaneous reinforcing and toughening of polypropylene (PP) was reported. Dynamical cure of the epoxy resin with 2‐ethylene‐4‐methane‐imidazole (EMI‐2,4) was successfully applied in the PP/maleic anhydride‐grafted ethylene‐vinyl acetate copolymer (MAH‐ g ‐EVA), and the obtained blends named as dynamically cured PP/MAH‐ g ‐EVA/epoxy blends. The stiffness and toughness of the blends are in a good balance, and the...
