Maleic Anhydride Grafted Polystyrene coupling agent (compatibilizer) is a type of compatibilizer based on polystyrene that enables the blending of two polymers, such as polystyrene with polypropylene (PS/PP) or polystyrene with polyurethane (PS/PU). This material increases interfacial interactions, enhances adhesion between the two phases, brings the melt viscosities of the blend components closer together, and ultimately leads to improved morphological stability and better processability of the desired compound.

A coupling agent (compatibilizer) is a material that enables the simultaneous utilization of the properties of two different polymers. These materials act like a bridge, connecting the particles of two otherwise incompatible polymers. Without a compatibilizer, these polymers would not mix properly. The main purposes of using a compatibilizer are to enhance the physical and mechanical properties of polymers, improve their colorability, and improve their thermal properties.
