Abstract
Compatibility/compatibilization of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and hydrolyzed collagen (HC) in the presence of some reactive compatibilizing agents (CA), like acrylic acid functionalized low density polyethylene (LDPE-g-AAc) and bismaleinimide-functionalized low density polyethylene (LDPE-g-BMI) have been discussed. It has been established that, by 20-30Â wt% HC incorporation in LDPE matrix, in the presence of LDPE-g-AAc and LDPE-g-BMI compatibilizing agents, materials with good mechanical and surface properties can be obtained. Because of the high reactivity of bismaleinimide, the efficacity of LDPE-g-BMI as a compatibilizing agent is higher than that of LDPE-g-AAc.
