Abstract

We developed a twin-screw extrusion (TSE), method to create polymer inclusion complexes (PICs) from cyclodextrin and hydrophobic polymers, namely polycaprolactone (PCL), polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). These PICs serve as effective compatibilizers to toughen polymer blends and enable bulk and surface post-polymerization functionalization of inert polymers.
