Improved Thermal Stability, Moisture Resistance, Oxygen Barrier Properties, and Interaction of Recycled Polypropylene/Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol Blends Using a Polypropylene Functionalized with a Maleinized Hyperbranched Polyester Polyol as a Compatibilizing Agent

Polypropylene (PP) is widely used in the packaging industry. However, it has high oxygen permeability (PO2). Ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) has been blended with PP to improve this property. However, these polymers are incompatible. In this study, PP functionalized with a maleiniz...
