USE OF BRANCHED COPOLYMERS IN POLYMER BLENDS

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of a branched addition copolymer in combination with a polymer in a solution or melt formulation to reduce the viscosity of the solution formulation and/or melt formulation compared to the viscosity of a solution and/or melt comprising the polymer alone wherein the branched addition copolymer is obtainable by an addition polymerisation process, methods for the preparation of the formulations, and novel branched addition copolymers for use as same.
