Ionomer Toughened Polyolefine

The morphology and properties of HDPE blends with Zn-SEPDM and GR were studied through SEM and mechanical property test. The results show that as Zn-SEPDM/GR content amounts to 20%, the blend becomes an IPN in structure, and that a rather high impact and tensile strength of HDPE may be obtained after blending. The antistatic effect, the softening point,and HDT of the blend are higher as compared to HDPE/Zn-SEPDM/ZnSt (zinc stearate).The effect of Zn-SEPDM on the compatibility the morphology and properties of IPP blends were studied by DSC, TEM and mechanical properties test. The results show that as Zn-SEPDM content exceeds 20%. Zn-SEPDM in the blend becomes continuous and an abrupt change in impact strength is incurred there from. Owing to the incorporation of ionic groups into EPDM.the strong interactions betWeen the chains make both the impact and the tensile strength of IPP remarkably higher
