Abstract
When used as a modifier for melt-processed blends, the HBP domain size was based upon end-group composition and Tg. Increasing the length of alkyl chain increased compatibility with a polyolefin matrix (PE). While no processing advantage was observed by the incorporation of HBPs, polyethylene tapes were toughened at very low loading levels.
