Dependence of the Morphological Location of the Brittle/Tough Transition on the Modulus of the Dispersed Phase

The dispersed phase of the polypropylene/maleinized poly(ethylene‐octene) (PP/mPEO) blend was modified by means of nanoclay addition, in an attempt to find out the effect of its modulus of elasticity on the location of the brittle/tough (B/T) transition. The nanoclay stayed only in the dispersed rub...
