Polyethylene (PE) and isotactic polypropylene ( i PP) constitute nearly two-thirds of the world's plastic. Despite their similar hydrocarbon makeup, the polymers are immiscible with one another. Thus, common grades of PE and i PP do not adhere or blend, creating challenges for recycling these materials. We synthesized PE/ i PP multiblock copolymers using an isoselective alkene polymerization initiator. These polymers can weld common grades of commercial PE and i PP together, depending on the molecular weights and architecture of the block copolymers. Interfacial compatibilization of phase-separated PE and i PP with tetrablock copolymers enables morphological control, transforming brittle materials into mechanically tough blends.

Combining polyethylene and polypropylene: Enhanced performance with PE/ i PP multiblock polymers
