Abstract
Chemical interactions (additional condensation and transreactions) on the interfaces of condensation polymers (nylons and polyesters) are discussed. In addition to the recently discovered phenomenon of chemical healing, a new type of composites from polymer blends - the microfibrillar reinforced ones are introduced. It is demonstrated that interfacial chemical interactions result in the formation of a new interphase representing a copolymer of the blended components and playing the role of selfcompatibilizer.
