American Mahjong is a form of Mahjong standardized by the National Mah Jongg League and the American Mah-Jongg Association that has the greatest divergence from traditional Mahjong, with the introduction of Joker tiles, the Charleston, as well as melds of five or more tiles, and eschewing the Chow and the notion of a standard hand.
Because of this divergence, the NMJL and AMJA variations (which differ from each other by minor scoring differences) is commonly referred to as Mahjongg (with two Gs, possibly hyphenated).

Although recent publications have discussed the influence of maleated polypropylene (PP) compatibilizer characteristics, such as molecular weight (MW) and concentration of maleic anhydride (MAH) reactive groups, on the mechanical behaviour of PP composites, many aspects related to the interfacial adhesion and nature of the composite interphase have yet to be elucidated.
However, when all experimental data is presented as a function of the MAH concentration per unit surface area of GF (mg/m2), a single master curve is obtained at a given GF content, independently of the grade of the compatibilizer used.
The simultaneous increase in both the TS and IIS with MAH concentration can be attributed to the high interfacial adhesion and a soft and ductile nature of the interphase.
