Compatibilizers based on polypropylene grafted with itaconic acid derivatives. Effect on polypropylene/polyethylene terephthalate blends

New types of compatibilizers based on functionalized polypropylene (PP) were synthesized by radical melt grafting either with monomethyl itaconate or dimethyl itaconate. The effect of these new modified PP compounds were tested as compatibilizers in PP/polyethylene terephthalate (PET) blends. Blends with compositions 15/85 and 30/70 by weight of PP and PET were prepared in a single‐screw extruder. Morphology of the compatibilized blends revealed a very fine and uniform dispersion of the PP phase as compared with that of noncompatibilized blends of the same composition, leading to improved adhesion between the two phases. Whereas dimethyl itaconate derived agent showed less activity, the monomethyl itaconate parent compound showed an increase of the impact resistance of PET in PP/PET blend. This was attributed to the hydrophilic nature of the monomethyl itaconate part of this compatibilizer. The tensile strength of PET in noncompatibilized blends gradually decreases as the PP content increases, while blends containing functionalized PP exhibited higher values.     

Improving the foaming and mechanical properties of the in situ microfiber-reinforced polyethylene terephthalate/polypropylene composites through compatibilization

The in situ microfiber-reinforced polyethylene terephthalate/isotactic polypropylene (15/85, w/w) composite (PET/iPP MRC) was successfully obtained through the micro-nano-laminating co-extrusion by using polypropylene-grafted-glycidyl methacrylate (PP-g-GMA) as a compatibilizer. The effect of the compatibilizer on the rheological behavior, micromorphology of PET/iPP MRC, foaming capability and the mechanical properties of foamed PET/iPP MRC was investigated. Extensional rheology measurement revealed the strain hardening of PET/iPP MRC is more obviously than iPP and with compatibilizer added. Scanning electron microscope observation indicated that the introduction of PP-g-GMA compatibilizer can improve the compatibility between PET and PP and subsequently lead to the decrease of diameter of PET microfibers. In addition, the incorporating of PP-g-GMA compatibilizer can also decrease the diameter and enhance the cell density of PET/iPP MRC cell. Both the tensile strength and the impact strength of the PET/iPP MRC foam are higher than that of the iPP foam, and improved with the compatibilizer added.     

Interface modification of compatibilized polyethylene terephthalate/polypropylene blends: Effect of compatibilization on thermomechanical properties and thermal stability

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polypropylene (PP) are incompatible thermoplastics because of differences in chemical structure and polarity, hence their blends possess inferior mechanical and thermal properties. Compatibilization with a suitable block/graft copolymer is one way to improve the mechanical and thermal properties of the PET/PP blend. In this study, the toughness, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of PET/PP blends were investigated as a function of different content of styrene‐ethylene‐butylene‐styrene‐g‐maleic anhydride (SEBS‐g‐MAH) compatibilizer. PET, PP, and SEBS‐g‐MAH were melt‐blended in a single step using the counter rotating twin screw extruder with compatibilizer concentrations of 0, 5, 10, and 15 phr, respectively. The impact strength of compatibilized blend with 10 phr SEBS‐g‐MAH increased by 300% compared to the uncompatibilized blend. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrographs show that the addition of 10 phr SEBS‐g‐MAH compatibilizer into the PET/PP blends decreased the particle size of the dispersed PP phase to the minimum level. The improvement of the storage modulus and the decrease in the glass transition temperature of the PET phase indicated an interaction among the blend components. Thermal stability of the PET/PP blends was significantly improved because of the addition of SEBS‐g‐MAH. J. VINYL ADDIT. TECHNOL., 23:45–54, 2017. © 2015 Society of Plastics Engineers     

Study of effect of old corrugated cardboard in properties of polypropylene composites: Study of mechanical properties,thermal behavior,and morphological properties

The investigation of the economical use of lignocellulose waste, which is one of the environmental problems facing nations, is ongoing. In this study, waste cardboard paper fiber reinforcing polypropylene (PP) composites was developed. In order to modify the PP matrix maleated PP (MA‐g‐PP) a 5 wt% and a grafting rate of 1 and 2 wt% was used as a compatibilizer. The effects of fiber and compatibilizer content as well as graft content are evaluated by mechanical, thermal property measurements, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The compatibilizer improved all mechanical properties significantly. Thus, the tensile strength of MA‐g‐PP‐containing composites increases compared to PP/cardboard composites paper content increases. However, the tensile modulus of a PP‐based composite increases with an increase in paper fiber with the compatibilizer having little effect. SEM revealed that the addition of MA‐g‐PP generates strong interactions between a PP matrix and paper fibers. However, the addition of the MA‐g‐PP compatibilizing agent gives a significant improvement on the crystallization of the composites, whereas the compatibilized PP/old corrugated cardboard (OCC) composites have higher crystallinity (Xc) than uncompatibilized PP/OCC composites. The MA‐g‐PP also diminished the water absorption in the composites. J. VINYL ADDIT. TECHNOL., 22:231–238, 2016. © 2014 Society of Plastics Engineers

Mechanical and Rheological Properties of Poly(ethylene terephthalate)/ Polypropylene Blends

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) and polypropylene (PET/PP) were compounded and pelletized with a single-screw extruder. Standard ASTM tensile test specimens were made by injection moulding. The blends are stronger and stiffer than the plain PP specimens. The addition of a compatibilizer, EPOLENE E-43, is found to improve the strength and stiffness of the blends at loadings of 50% and 70% PET. At 10% PET loading, E-43 has the opposite effect of slightly reducing the tensile properties. All the blends are more brittle relative to either plain PET or PP. The addition of E-43 results in negligible improvement in the elongation at break. E-43 is also found to be an effective lubricant in improving the processability of the blends. The blends with E-43 added have lower viscosities and less shear-thinning characteristics than those without E-43. © 1997 SCI.     

Morphology and crystallization behavior of the PP/PET nanocomposites

Nanocomposites containing polypropylene (PP), PET, and montmorillonite were prepared in a twin‐screw extruder. X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, polarized optical microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry were used to characterize the samples. Intercalated and exfoliated morphology were observed in the nanocomposites. The PET domains usually presented spherical shapes and they were the start point to PP crystallization. The average diameter and number of PET domains was evaluated. The influence of addition of PP‐MA as compatibilizer on PP/PET was investigated. The interconnected morphology was observed in the nanocomposite containing PP‐MA. The clay located predominantly in the interphase and in the PET phase. The crystallization process was monitored and the PET crystallization rate was slower in the nanocomposites. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009     

Reinforcing performance of recycled PET microfibrils in comparison with liquid crystalline polymer for polypropylene based composite fibers

Recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) used as an alternative reinforcing additive for polypropylene (PP) based composite fibers, compared with liquid crystalline polymer (LCP), was investigated. Both PP-LCP and PP-rPET composites were prepared as fiber using hot drawing process. The effects of draw ratios and compatibilizer dosages on morphology in relation to tensile properties of both types of the composite systems were studied. The variation of draw ratios resulted in much change of stress–strain behavior in compatibilized rPET composite system owing to the obvious difference in morphological change of rPET dispersed phase upon drawing. Tensile strength and extensibility of both composites system were significantly improved with compatibilizer loading. The tensile strength of compatibilized rPET-composite fibers was higher than that of the compatibilized LCP system. The obtained results demonstrated the high potential of rPET as a well-defined reinforcing material for PP based composite fiber under the improved interfacial adhesion promoted by compatibilizer.
