The goal of the work is to study possibilities for the modification of interface in immiscible polymer blends, which determine to a large degree of the blend properties. For this purpose novel coupling agents (named SCA) containing 2-oxazoline, 2-oxazinone, and hydrosilane reactive sites have been prepared. In blends of amino- functional and carboxylic acid terminated polymers the oxazoline and oxazinone units of the SCA react selectively with one of the polymers and, therefore, the SCA should locate at the interface. The remaining hydrosilane sites can now be used for further modification, e.g. for crosslinking. In the thesis we discussed the effect of the SCA on the morphology and thermal and rheological properties of blends based on carboxylic acid terminated polystyrene (PS) and amino-terminated polyamide 12 (PA) or poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The morphology of the blends and the location of the SCA strongly depends on the processing conditions. The crosslinkability of the interface could be proven by changes in the solubility behavior of the blends.
