Coupling agents: coupling agents are reactive molecules which react chemically either with a filler/fiber and/or the polymer matrix and improve thus the adhesion between the components. Also some reactive compatibilizers may act in the same way and there is no clear defined terminology in literature. In general, coupling agents are low molecular weight reactive molecules mainly used in improving rubber filler adhesion and glass fiber polymer adhesion, whereas compatibilizers are polymers and act mainly in polymer blends.
View MoreA cross-linking agent is one of the important additives in the plastic industry. Cross-linking agents have an effect on the physical and mechanical properties of the polymers. In general, the curing or cross-linking process is an irreversible process. The cross-linking of polymer which is done by cross-linkers through covalent bond enables to control the physical and mechanical (i.e., impact and resistance of cracking) properties of the obtained polymer for commercial or scientific purposes.
