A method for making a polymer composition comprises the steps of providing a thermoplastic polymer, providing a compatibilizing agent, providing a peroxide compound, and melt mixing the thermoplastic polymer, compatibilizing agent, and peroxide compound. The compatibilizing agent comprises an ester compound formally derived from a polyol comprising three or more hydroxy groups and an aliphatic carboxylic acid comprising one or more carbon-carbon double bonds. A masterbatch composition comprises a thermoplastic binder, a peroxide compound, and an ester compound. A concentrate composition comprises an antioxidant and an ester compound. |
