Inhibitor hydroquinone (HQ) was added to the reaction system to prepare polypropylene/polystyrene (PP/PS) blend pellets without PS on the surface during diffusion and subsequent polymerization of styrene in isotactic polypropylene pellets. The effects of the amount of HQ on diametrical distribution of PS, surface morphology of the pellets and phase morphology inside the blend pellets were investigated.
