Non-crosslinked thermoplastic polymer blending: SikaRecent Research Landscape

Rigid polymer matrices suffer from brittle failure and poor impact resistance under mechanical stress. These compositions engineer specific polymer chain interactions to increase structural flexibility and durability.

What technical problems is Sika addressing in Non-crosslinked thermoplastic polymer blending?

Surface damage and adhesion

(9)evidences

Recycled polyvinylchloride and waste materials often suffer from poor interfacial bonding and surface degradation. Resolving these instabilities ensures structural integrity and aesthetic longevity in roofing and insulation applications.

Material brittleness at high temperatures

(4)evidences

Standard thermoplastic resins often lack the necessary compliance for specific structural applications. Overcoming this mechanical rigidity prevents material fracture and broadens functional utility.
