Method for improving the impact resistance and scratch resistance of polymeric systems

A method includes providing a starting material having a Young's modulus ( 202 ). Second, from a plurality of possible modifiers, a modifier is identified and selected that has a Young's modulus comparable to or greater than that of the starting material and that, when blended with the sta...

Zusammenfassung:A method includes providing a starting material having a Young's modulus ( 202 ). Second, from a plurality of possible modifiers, a modifier is identified and selected that has a Young's modulus comparable to or greater than that of the starting material and that, when blended with the starting material, creates a blend with a stable morphology ( 204 ). Third, the scratch resistance of the starting material is increased by blending the modifier with the starting material to form a blend ( 206 ). Alternatively, the scratch resistance of the stating material is maintained while the toughness of the starting material is increased by blending the modifier with the starting material to form a blend.
