The subject of the conducted study was primarily focused on the development of a new type of polymer blend modified with the use of nanosized fillers. The research concept involved the use of polycarbonate/polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG/PC) blends modified with the EBA-GMA impact modifier (...
