Funded Activity Summary

Blends of reactive plasticizers with thermoplastic composites for improved processing and properties. This proposal is directed at novel methods of enhancing the processibility, properties and applications of polymers and should have a significant economic impact on the $7 billion commodity polymer market for Australian polymer producers and polymer converters. The project would also extend the research opportunities of students and researchers in the rapidly growing fields of nano-composites and reactive polymer processing.
