Morphologies and physical properties of PA1010/HIPS/HIPS-g-MA ternary blends

The effect of the content of a copolymer consisting of high impact polystyrene grafted with maleic anhydride (HIPS-g-MA) on morphological and mechanical properties of PA1010/HIPS blends has been studied. Blend morphologies were controlled by adding HIPS-g-MA during melt processing, thus the dispersion of the HIPS phase and interfacial adhesion between the domains and matrices in these blends were changed obviously. The weight fractions of HIPS-g-MA in the blends increased from 2.5 to 20, then much finer dispersions of discrete HIPS phase with average domain sizes decreased from 6.1 to 0.1 m were obtained. It was found that a compatibilizer, a graft copolymer of HIPS-g-MA and PA1010 was synthesized in situ during the melt mixing of the blends. The mechanical properties of compatibilized blends were obviously better than those of uncompatibilized PA1010/HIPS blends. These behaviors could be attributed to the chemical interactions between the two components of PA1010 and HIPS-g-MA and good dispersion in PA1010/HIPS/HIPS-g-MA blends. Evidence of reactions in the blends was seen in the morphology and mechanical behaviour of the solid. The blend containing 5 wt% HIPS-g-MA component exhibited outstanding toughness.

HIPS-g-MA共聚物对HIPS/PC共混物相容性、形态和拉伸性能的影响

研究了HIPS／PC共混物的相容性及HIPS－MA对HIPS（30）／PC（70）共混物的相容性、形态和拉伸性能的影响。DSC研究结果表明，HIPS／PC共混物中PS的玻璃化转变温度（Tg)不随组成而变化，而PC的Tg随其质量分数的降低逐渐向低温移动，说明HIPS／PC是部分相容体系。通过DSC、扫描电镜形态观察和拉伸性能测试结果发现，当HIPS－g-MA的含量低于7．5％时，共混物的相容性改善不明显，当其含量达到7．5％时，对共混物有明显的乳化作用，说明饱和的界面浓度在7．5％左右。HIPS－g-MA接枝共聚物在HIPS（30）／PC（70）共混物中的增容作用可能是酯交换反应原位生成的嵌段共聚物所致。

A study on compatibilization of AES/PA6 blends

Polyblends of Nylon 6 and AES were prepared and their mechanical properties and phase morphology examined. Two compatibilization techniques were evaluated: addition of a suitable block copolymer: poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) (SMA); AES functionalization with maleic anhydride (MA) through reactive extrusion. As a preliminary test for the compatibilizing efficiency, SMAs and PA6 were compounded in a Brabender mixer, recording the torque during the operations and evaluating, by solvent extraction, the amount of SMA grafted to PA6. However, when moving to the ternary blends AES/SMA/PA6, the highest value of notched lzod impact strength (290 J m^–1 versus 20 J m^–1) was found for an SMA sample containing 24% MA, which did not show the highest reactivity with PA6 in the preliminary test run. This finding suggests that not only the reactivity towards PA6, but also the miscibility with AES phase (the highest for the SMA product with 24% MA) must be taken into account when designing the best performing compatibilizer. On the other hand, AES functionalization with MA and DCP proved to be more successful and the resulting 50/50 blend with PA6 exhibited an outstanding value of notched Izod impact strength (1050 J m^–1)     

Effect of the processing method on the mechanical properties and morphology of compatibilized PA6/LDPE blends

In this work, the effect of the processing method on the mechanical properties and morphology of compatibilized PA6/LDPE blends was investigated. The blends were prepared by two processing methods: Injection and Extrusion followed by Injection. The compatibilizers used were polyethylene grafted with acrylic acid (PEgAA) and polyethylene grafted with maleic anhydride (PEgMA). The results showed that in both processing methods the impact strength and elongation at break of the compatibilized blends were greater than those of the uncompatibilized ones. For the blends prepared by injection, the impact strength of PA6/PEgMA/LDPE blend was greater than that of PA6/PEgAA/LDPE blend. For the blends prepared by extrusion followed by injection, the impact strength of the PA6/PEgAA/LDPE blend was greater than that of PA6/PEgMA/LDPE blend. SEM analysis showed that the morphology of the PA6/PEgAA/LDPE blend prepared by extrusion followed by injection was more stable than that of the same blend prepared only by injection.

Thermal properties of nylon6/ABS polymer blends: Compatibilizer effect

Nylon6/ABS binary blends are incompatible and need to be compatibilized to achieve better performance under impact tests. Poly(methyl methacrylate/maleic anhydride) (MMA-MA) is used in this work to compatibilize in situ nylon6/ABS immiscible blends. The MA functional groups, from MMA-MA copolymers, react with NH₂ groups giving as products nylon molecules grafted to MMA-MA molecules. Those molecular species locate in the nylon6/ABS blend interfacial region increasing the local adhesion. MMA-MA segments are completely miscible with the SAN rich phase from the ABS. The aim of this work is to study the effects of ABS and compatibilizing agent on the melting and crystallization of nylon6/ABS blends. This effect has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). Incorporation of this compatibilizer and ABS showed little effect on the melting behavior of the PA6 crystalline phase, in general. DMTA analysis confirmed the system immiscibility and showed evidence of compatibility between the two phases, nylon6 and ABS, produced by MMA-MA copolymer presence. The nylon6/ABS blend morphology, observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), changes significantly by the addition of the MMA-MA compatibilizer. A better dispersion of ABS in the nylon6 phase is observed.     

Influence of reactive compatibilizers on the rheometrical and mechanical properties of PA6/LDPE and PA6/HDPE blends

In this work, the influence of reactive compatibilizers on the rheometrical and mechanical properties of polyamide 6/low density polyethylene (PA6/LDPE) and polyamide 6/high density polyethylene (PA6/HDPE) blends was investigated. Polyethylene grafted with maleic anhydride (PEgMA), polyethylene grafted with acrylic acid (PEgAA), and ethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate (EMA-GMA) were used as compatibilizers. The blends were characterized by torque rheometry, mechanical properties, and morphology. Rheometrical properties results show that PEgMA and PEgAA compatibilizers are more reactive with PA6 than EMA-GMA. Mechanical properties and scanning electron microscopy analysis results show that EMA-GMA compatibilizer is as effective as PEgMA and PEgAA for PA6/LDPE blend. For PA6/HDPE blend, PEgAA and EMA-GMA compatibilizers proved to be as effective as PEgMA. For PA6/HDPE blend compatibilized with PEgAA, an intriguing “web” or “bridge” like structure was observed.     

动态保压注射成型中POE-g-MAH 对PA1010-PP 共混物的增容作用

以马来酸酐接枝乙烯-辛烯共聚物(POE-g-MAH)作为增容剂, 采用熔体共混的方法制备了PA1010-PP共混物, 通过扫描电镜(SEM)、 力学性能和差示扫描量热(DSC)测试, 研究了动态保压注射成型中POE-g-MAH对PA1010-PP共混物的增容作用。力学性能测试结果表明, 在注射成型过程中施加剪切应力, 明显提高了共混物的拉伸和冲击性能。SEM结果表明, 剪切诱导制品产生多层次结构, 而且分散相相区尺寸显著减小, 分散更趋均匀, 相界面更加模糊。DSC结果表明, 剪切应力作用下, 当POE-g-MAH的质量分数达到15%时, PP出现2个结晶峰, 即出现异相成核结晶和均相成核结晶, PP均相成核结晶的出现从另一个方面表明动态试样中分散相PP尺寸小于静态试样。剪切应力作用下增容作用的提高归因于剪切应力作用下独特相形态的形成。

Utilization of waste expanded polystyrene: Blends with silica-filled natural rubber

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) constitutes a considerable part of thermoplastic waste in the environment in terms of volume. In this study, this waste material has been utilized for blending with silica-reinforced natural rubber (NR). The NR/EPS (35/5) blends were prepared by melt mixing in a Brabender Plasticorder. Since NR and EPS are incompatible and immiscible a method has been devised to improve compatibility. For this, EPS and NR were initially grafted with maleic anhydride (MA) using dicumyl peroxide (DCP) to give a graft copolymer. Grafting was confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectroscopy. This grafted blend was subsequently blended with more of NR during mill compounding. Morphological studies using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showed better dispersion of EPS in the compatibilized blend compared to the noncompatibilized blend. By this technique, the tensile strength, elongation at break, modulus, tear strength, compression set and hardness of the blend were found to be either at par with or better than that of virgin silica filled NR compound. It is also noted that the thermal properties of the blends are equivalent with that of virgin NR. The study establishes the potential of this method for utilising waste EPS.
