The effect of viscosity of polyethylene on the evolution of phase structure during the mixing of polypropylene/EPDM elastomer/polyethylene blends

The dependences of phase structure and notch impact strength on conditions of mixing have been compared for the binary blend PP/EPDM and for two ternary blends PP/EPDM/PE possessing different viscosities of polyethylene. At low rates and short times of mixing a phase structure with pronounced inhomogeneities (particles of the dispersed phase having diameters of tens μm) is formed in all blends. Conditions of mixing needed for the formation of a homogeneous phase structure (with particles having diameters of several μm) depend on the average viscosity of the components forming the inclusions (EPDM elastomer or EPDM elastomer/polyethylene). Depending on the conditions of mixing and on the rheological properties of components, substitution of one part of the EPDM elastomer with PE may lead to an increase or decrease in the impact strength of the final blend.     

Mechanical Properties and Morphology of Ternary PP/EPDM/PE Blends

The ternary blends of high‐density polyethylene (PE), EPDM terpolymer and polypropylene (PP) have been used as a model low interfacial tension system to study encapsulation dynamics in ternary blends and their relation to the blends' mechanical properties. It was found that the modulus, tensile strength and impact resistance can be improved by PE addition if the PE is localized within the EPDM phase. A range of blend morphology was found depending on the PE viscosity and polymer incorporation sequence in the twin‐screw extruder. In the most favorable sequence, PE and EPDM were mixed together prior to their dispersion in the PP matrix. This practice resulted in a 50% increase in impact resistance when compared to mixing the three components in a single‐step.     

PP/EPDM/纳米弹性体粒子三元共混体系的脆韧转变

研究了PP／EPDM／纳米弹性体粒子(ENP)三元共混体系的脆韧转变行为。结果表明，与PP／EPDM二元共混物相比，三元共混物的脆韧转变可以在EPDM质量分数较低的情况下发生；在橡胶总质量分数相同的情况下，三元共混物有更高的冲击强度，拉伸强度有一定提高。从脆断样条的扫描电镜照片观察到，在相同EPDM质量分数下，PP／EPDM／ENP三元共混物中的EPDM粒子明显细化，分布均一，粒子间距减小，这是脆韧转变提前的原因。     

Morphologies of polyethylene–ethylene/propylene/diene monomer particles in polypropylene‐rich polyolefin blends: Flake structure

Morphologies of polyethylene–ethylene/propylene/diene monomer (PE/EPDM) particles in 93/7 polypropylene (PP)/PE blends were investigated. SEM micrographs of KMnO₄‐etched cut surfaces and fracture surfaces of the blends revealed the existence of the “flake” structure. In the particles, crystalline PE formations with flake shape, which remain after etching, are called flakes. In addition to the PE‐crystalline flakes, amorphous PE, located between PE crystalline lamellae and EPDM rubber, complement the flake structure. The flakes are usually linked with the PP matrix, as seen in the heptane‐treated cut surfaces. These links, although observed with compatibilized samples, originate from the crystalline nature of PE particles, if no compatibilizer is added. Separately, the morphology of Royalene (consisting of high‐density PE and EPDM rubber, used as a PP/PE compatibilizer) was investigated by low‐voltage scanning TEM. The interaction of the components in the PE/EPDM blends can explain the formation of the flakes and toughening of the PP/PE blends. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Compatibilization of PP/PE blends and scraps with Royalene: Mechanical properties,SAXS, and WAXS

PP/PE 93/7 model virgin blends and recycled scraps were compatibilized with Royalene (EPDM/PE 65/35 blend) and mechanically tested. No differences in impact and tensile properties between them were found. However, the tensile-impact strength increased almost twice with 10%-compatibilized sample in comparison with uncompatibilized ones. The yield stress of blends containing 10% Royalene decreased to 75–80% of the original value. This effect is in agreement with microhardness measurements; the increase in the compatibilizer content causes softening of the blend. The elongation at break and elongation at yield do not depend on the compatibilizer concentration. The compatibilizer does not influence the degree of crystallinity (WAXS data) of the blends either. Vickers microhardness is in good agreement with Tabor's relationship. The differences between long periods of HDPE in Royalene and LDPE in PP/PE blends (SAXS) proved PE/EPDM interaction. The interaction plays a key role in the toughening of PP/PE blends. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008

Mechanical properties and structural characteristics of dynamically photocrosslinked PP/EPDM blends

The mechanical properties and crystal morphological structures of dynamically photocrosslinked polypropylene (PP)/ethylene‐propylene‐diene terpolymer (EPDM) blends have been studied by mechanical tests, wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Dynamically photocrosslinking of PP/EPDM blends can improve the mechanical propertiess considerably, especially the notched Izod impact strength at low temperature. Data obtained from mechanical tests show that the notched Izod impact strength of a dynamically photocrosslinked sample with 30% EPDM at ?20°C is about six times that of an uncrosslinked sample with the same EPDM component. The results from the WAXD, SEM, and DSC measurements reveal the enhanced mechanism of impact strength for the dynamically photocrosslinked PP/EPDM blends as follows: (i) the β‐type crystal structure of PP is formed and the interplanar distance of β‐type crystal increases slightly with an increase in the EPDM component; (ii) the droplet size of the EPDM phase in the photocrosslinked PP/EPDM blends is obviously reduced and the droplet number is increased with an increase in the EPDM component during the dynamical photocrosslinking process; (iii) the graft copolymer of PP‐g‐EPDM is formed at the interface between PP and EPDM components. All the above changes from the crystal morphological structures are favorable for increasing the compatibility and enhancing the toughness of PP/EPDM blends at low temperatures.     

Processing of polyolefin blends

The morphology of binary and ternary polyolefin blends of polypropylene (PP), ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EPDM) and polyethylene (PE) following processing by injection and compression molding has been examined by optical and scanning electron microscopy. Internal surfaces were generated by low temperature fracture and etching with cyclohexane. In binary blends, droplets of EPDM are elongated in the flow direction within 400μm of the mold surface in injection molding, yielding a skin region which is distinct from an isotropic core containing spherical EPDM inclusions. Spherical droplets of EPDM or PE in binary blends with PP increase in size with increasing compression molding time. In ternary blends, spherical inclusions containing both EPDM and PE are dispersed in PP. With increasing compression molding time, EPDM separates from PE and concentrates at the outer edges of the PE inclusion, effectively isolating PE from the PP matrix.
