This article is devoted to the analysis of the results of the investigation of the process of forming mixtures of linear polymers formed simultaneously in situ according to different mechanisms. The first mechanism is polyaddition, the second mechanism is radical polymerization. This is one of the possible ways to obtain multicomponent polymer systems. The kinetics of chemical reactions of the formation of components and the phase separation which accompanies these reactions were studied for mixtures of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with two polyurethanes (PU) of different chemical nature of both flexible and rigid blocks. PU-1 was synthesized from macrodiisocyanate based on oligo(tetramethylene glycol) with molecular mass 1000 g·mol–1 and hexamethylene diisocyanate taken in the molar ratio 1 : 2 using diethylene glycol as a chain extender. PU-2 was synthesized from macrodiisocyanate based on olygo(propylene glycol) with molecular mass 1000 g·mol–1 and toluylene diisocyanate taken in the molar ratio 1 : 2 using butanediol as a chain extender. The mixture of polystyrene (PS) with PU-2 was studied too. It is established that regardless of the chemical nature of the components, the process of in situ mixture formation is subject to general laws. In particular, the change in the chemical nature of the component formed by the mechanism of polyaddition (mixtures PMMA/PU-1 and PMMA/PU-2) or of the component formed by radical polymerization (mixtures PMMA/PU-2 and PS/PU-2) does not affect the nature of the dependence of the conversion degree of components and the fraction of formed polymers at the beginning of the phase separation on the composition of the initial reaction mixtures. Only the absolute values of these parameters change due to different reactivity and different thermodynamic compatibility of the mixed components.

In order to improve the properties of biodegradable polylactide (PLA), mixtures with polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT) were prepared. PLA is a bio-based and renewable biodegradable material, made from starch. PBAT is a biodegradable polyester for compostable film. In order to improve the composite properties, two types of additives were implemented via melt mixing, a chain extender (CE) and montmorillonite (MMT). CE was used as an interfacial modifier to enhance the adhesion between components. Montmorillonite is a widely studied clay added to polymer nanocomposites. Due to the lamellar structure, it improves the barrier properties of materials. PLA/PBAT films were oriented in the extrusion process and the amounts of filler introduced into the PLA/PBAT nanocomposites were 1.0, 3.0, and 5.0%. The improvement in the PLA barrier properties by the addition of PBAT and 5% of MMT was confirmed as the oxygen permeability decreased almost by a factor of 3. The addition of the biodegradable polymer, chain extender, montmorillonite, and the implemented orientation process resulted in a decrease in composite viscosity and an increase in the PLA crystallinity percentage (up to 25%), and the wettability tests confirmed the synergic behavior of the selected polymer blend.

Biodegradable poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)/poly(lactic acid) (PBAT/PLA) composites were prepared by melt blending, and chain extender was used to improve the compatibility of PBAT/PLA blends through the chemical reaction. The influence of PLA and chain extender contents on mechanical properties, morphology, and rheological properties of PBAT/PLA composites was systematically investigated. The results revealed that the Young’s modulus and stress values gradually increased under the same strain, whereas the elongation at break decreased with the increase of chain extender content for PBAT/PLA (80/20) composites. Noteworthy, the presence of chain extender improves the interfacial compatibility between PLA and PBAT phases. At the chain extender content of 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 wt.%, the extensional viscosity of the composites exhibited an increasing trend, whereas an obvious strain-hardening phenomenon emerged in the uniaxial extensional curves.

This study depicts the investigations of the effect of composition of aromatic polyester polyol produced from terephthalic acid (TPA) and different concentrations of monoethylene glycol (mEG) as a chain extender on the mechanical properties of polyurethane (PU) elastomer. Aromatic polyester polyols are prepared via the poly-esterification of adipic acid, terephthalic acid, catalyst, and mono ethylene glycol; while a polyurethane elastomer is formulated via the pre-polymerization of polyol with pure monomeric Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI.) Mechanical properties of polyurethane elastomers are examined, such as hardness via shore A hardness, apparent density via ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) D1622–08, and abrasion wear resistance via a Deutches Institut fur Normung (DIN) abrasion wear resistance tester. Structural properties are investigated through Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. Results reveal that the shore A hardness of the PU elastomer increases with an increasing concentration of mEG from 4g to 12g. Nevertheless, the elastomer’s density depicts a reduction with an increasing extender content. The abrasion wear resistance of polyurethane, however, increases with an increasing concentration of glycol. A structural analysis through FTIR confirms the formation of polyurethane elastomer through the characteristic peaks demonstrated.
