Abstract. The present work discusses the binary (PE/PS; PP/PS) and ternary (PE/PP/PS) blends compatibilizationby Friedel-Crafts reactions. Detailed studies were performed on the main and side reactions characterization, blend morphological aspects and final mechanical properties to assess the compatibilization efficiency.
