SILVA, Ana L. N. et al. Desenvolvimento de Materiais à Base de Poliolefinas e Elastômeros MetalocênicosDevelopment of Materials Based on Polyolefins and Metallocene Elastomers. Polímeros [online]. 2001, vol.11, n.3, pp.135-141. ISSN 1678-5169.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0104-14282001000300013.

The aim of this work was to evaluate the mechanical, thermal and morphological properties of systems based on polyolefins (PP and HDPE) and ethylene/1-octene metallocene copolymer (EOC), produced by Dow Chemical. The effect of a propylene/1-octene metallocene copolymer (POC), obtained in the laboratory was also investigated as a compatibilizer agent for the PP/EOC blend. The results showed that the addition of certain contents of EOC to PP and HDPE may carry the production of materials with good mechanical properties. The data obtained also revealed that the POC copolymer can be used as compatibilizer agent of the PP/EOC blends.
