The recent growth in the post‐consumer recycling of plastics presents an opportunity for developing new, value‐added blend products from the recycled polymers. However, in order to develop blends with useful performance characteristics, suitable techniques of compatibilization and impact modification must be employed. In this study, reactive toughening and compatibilization techniques have been found to be particularly useful in achieving high thermal embrittlement resistance in the blends of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) containing functionalized ethylene copolymers and polycarbonate. Reactive compatibilization of recycled polyolefin blends with poly(ethylene terephthalate) and polyamide has also been investigated.
