Example 1
[0077]The following example demonstrates the modification of a heterophasic polyolefin composition and performance enhancements achieved, according to the method of the present invention.
[0078]Four heterophasic polymer compositions were produced. Comparative Sample 1A (C.S. 1A) was an unmodified polypropylene copolymer. Comparative Sample 1B (C.S. 1B) was made with the same polypropylene copolymer vis-broken using a peroxide. Samples 1A and 1B were made with the same vis-broken polypropylene copolymer compounded with 2-(furan-2-ylmethylene)malononitrile (Compound ID 1 from Table 7 below) as a compatibilizing agent. The general formulation for these samples is set forth in Table 1.

Example 2
[0081]The following example investigates the effects of using a compatibilizing agent in a non-heterophasic polyolefin composition.
[0082]Four non-heterophasic polymer compositions were produced. Comparative Sample 2A (C.S. 2A) was an unmodified polypropylene polymer. Comparative Sample 2B (C.S. 2B) was made with the same polypropylene polymer vis-broken using a peroxide. Comparative Samples 2C and 2D were made with the same vis-broken polypropylene polymer compounded with 2-(furan-2-ylmethylene)malononitrile as a compatibilizing agent. The general formulation for these samples is set forth in Table 3.

Example 3
[0085]The following example demonstrates the production of several heterophasic polyolefin compositions as described above and investigates the performance enhancements achieved through the incorporation of the compatibilizing agents as described above.
[0086]In order to permit a comparison of the various compatibilizing agents and their effects on the physical properties of a heterophasic polymer composition, the relationship between melt flow rate and Izod impact of a commercially-available polypropylene copolymer (LyondellBasell Pro-Fax SD375S) was investigated by vis-breaking the polymer using several different loadings of a commercially-available peroxide (Varox BDPH). A compatibilizing agent according to the invention was not used in these compositions. The raw MFR and Izod impact values obtained from these measurements were then indexed to the MFR and Izod impact values of the virgin, unmodified polymer (not vis-broken) to provide relative values. The relative MFR and Iz
