Domaine(s)
  • Matières plastiques
DEF

Polystyrène capable de réagir avec certains polymères pour former des alliages de polymères.

CONT

Dow Chemical commercialise, depuis 1985, aux États-Unis, un agent compatibilisant, le RPS, ou polystyrène réactif, polystyrène auquel on a greffé des fonctions oxazolines. [...] (Science et Technologie, 03.1990, 24, p. 57).

OBS

Les fonctions oxazolines greffées au polystyrène réactif peuvent établir des liaisons chimiques avec les groupes fonctionnels de certains polymères. Dow a ainsi pu réaliser un alliage de polystyrène et de polyéthylène basse densité (Primacor).
