Abstract: A yarn may include at least one filament formed from a polymer composition comprising: a polymer at an amount ranging from 95 wt % to 99.99 wt %; a carbon-based nanomaterial at an amount ranging from 0.01 wt % to 5 wt %. A method may include melt spinning a polymer composition to produce a yarn, where the polymer composition includes a polymer at an amount ranging from 95 wt % to 99.99 wt %; a carbon-based nanomaterial at an amount ranging from 0.01 wt % to 5 wt %.

Abstract: Polymer compositions may include a polymer matrix containing a polyolefin, one or more polymer particles dispersed in the polymer matrix, wherein the one or more polymer particles include a polar polymer selectively crosslinked with a crosslinking agent, and wherein the one or more polymer particles has an average particle size of up to 200 ?m. Processes of preparing a polymer composition may include mixing a polyolefin, a polar polymer, and a crosslinking agent; and selectively crosslinking the polar polymer with the crosslinking agent in the presence of the polyolefin. Methods may include increasing stress cracking resistance of a polyolefin by mixing a polar polymer with the polyolefin; and selectively crosslinking the polar polymer in the presence of the polyolefin with a crosslinking agent to form crosslinked polar polymer particles dispersed in the polyolefin.

Abstract: Polymeric blends of polystyrene (PS) and polylactic acid (PLA) are described, in the preparation of which a compatibilizing agent was added, preferably a PS-PLA block copolymer. Such compatibilizing agents act controlling phase separation of the blending compounds, and preventing excessive growth of polystyrene domains scattered in the PLA matrix; and this results in blends with good mechanical and thermal resistance.
