This contribution aims at the illustration of the potential of reactive blending, hold up polypropylene modification as an example. Formulation rules and process technology to create PP/PA‐alloys and thermoplastic elastomers based on PP/EP(D)M, as well as the property profiles of the resulting products will be described. A separate chapter is dedicated to functionalization of polypropylene by mainchain‐grafting of selected linkage molecules, to widen the range of application of this low‐cost polymer.
