以衣康酸（ITA）为接枝单体,采用双螺杆挤出机和熔融接枝技术制备了一系列乙烯-辛烯共聚物接枝物（POE-g-ITA）,通过红外光谱对接枝物的结构进行了表征,研究了引发剂和单体用量对POE-g-ITA接枝率和熔体流动速率的影响,当POE/ITA/过氧化二异丙苯（DCP）=94/6/0.36时,接枝率达到1.36 %;通过双螺杆挤出机将相容剂POE-g-ITA引入到聚酰胺6/乙烯-辛烯共聚物（PA6/POE）共混物中,研究了共混物的力学性能和形态结构。结果表明,加入5份（质量份数,下同）POE-g-ITA后,PA 6/POE共混物的冲击强度提高到纯PA 6的12.78倍,PA6与POE两相界面变得模糊,分散相尺寸明显减小,界面相互作用明显增强,相容性得到显著提高。     

The mechanical and rheological behavior of the PA/TPU blend with POE‐g‐MA modifier

In this research, we attempt to improve the impact strength and the viscosity of PA (polyamide) by blending two elastomers, TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) and POE‐g‐MA (maleic anhydride‐grafted polyethylene‐octene elastomer), in PA matrix with twin screw extruder. The ratio of blending is 80PA/20TPU and 80PA/20TPU/20POE‐g‐MA (66.66PA/16.67TPU/16.67POE‐g‐MA). Results indicate that POE‐g‐MA improves the low viscosity of PA and TPU during the blending process, and also their compatibility. Thus, the 80PA/20TPU/20POE‐g‐MA blend has better tensile stress and elongation than 80PA/20TPU blend, and furthermore POE‐g‐MA significantly improves the impact strength of PA, even to super‐toughness grade. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and properties of reactively compatibilized polyester and polyamide blends

The functionalization of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) has been accomplished in a twin screw extruder by grafting maleic anhydride (MA) using a free radical polymerization technique. The resulting PBT‐g‐MA was successfully used as a compatibilizer for the binary blends of polyester (PBT) and polyamide (PA66). Enhanced mechanical properties were achieved for the blend containing a small amount (as low as 2.5 %) of PBT‐g‐MA compared to the binary blend of unmodified PBT with PA66. Loss and storage moduli for blends containing compatibilizer were higher than those of uncompatibilized blends or their respective polymers. The grafting and compatibilization reactions were confirmed using FTIR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The properties of these blends were studied in detail by varying the amount of compatibilizer, and the improved mechanical behaviour was correlated with the morphology with the help of scanning electron microscopy. Morphology studies also revealed the interfacial interaction in the blend containing grafted PBT. The improvement in the properties of these blends can be attributed to the effective interaction of grafted maleic anhydride groups with the amino group in PA66. The results indicate that PBT‐g‐MA acts as an effective compatibilizer for the immiscible blends of PBT and PA66. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry

共混工艺对PP/PA6/纳米SiO2复合材料力学性能的影响

以聚丙烯（PP）作为基体,经表面处理过的纳米二氧化硅（nano-SiO2）和刚性聚合物尼龙6（PA6）作为改性剂,添加5％的接枝POE作增容剂,采用不同的共混工艺制备PP／PA6／纳米SiO2复合材料。研究了熔融共混挤出次数和共混方法对PP／PA6／纳米SiO2复合材料力学性能的影响,借助扫描电子显微镜从断面形貌上分析了影响复合材料力学性能的因素。结果表明：采用二次挤出熔融共混比一次挤出熔融共混制得的复合材料力学性能要好;采用PP与纳米SiO2先熔融共混挤出制得粒料,再用PA6、接枝POE与粒料熔融共混挤出的共混方法制得的复合材料综合力学性能最优。     

Poly(ethylene‐graft‐ethylene oxide) (PE‐PEO) and poly(ethylene‐co‐acrylic acid) (PEAA) as compatibilizers in blends of LDPE and polyamide‐6

In a blend of two immiscible polymers a controlled morphology can be obtained by adding a block or graft copolymer as compatibilizer. In the present work blends of low‐density polyethylene (PE) and polyamide‐6 (PA‐6) were prepared by melt mixing the polymers in a co‐rotating, intermeshing twin‐screw extruder. Poly(ethylene‐graft‐polyethylene oxide) (PE‐PEO), synthesized from poly(ethylene‐co‐acrylic acid) (PEAA) (backbone) and poly(ethylene oxide) monomethyl ether (MPEO) (grafts), was added as compatibilizer. As a comparison, the unmodified backbone polymer, PEAA, was used. The morphology of the blends was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Melting and crystallization behavior of the blends was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and mechanical properties by tensile testing. The compatibilizing mechanisms were different for the two copolymers, and generated two different blend morphologies. Addition of PE‐PEO gave a material with small, well‐dispersed PA‐spheres having good adhesion to the PE matrix, whereas PEAA generated a morphology characterized by small PA‐spheres agglomerated to larger structures. Both compatibilized PE/PA blends had much improved mechanical properties compared with the uncompatibilized blend, with elongation at break (ε_b) increasing up to 200%. Addition of compatibilizer to the PE/PA blends stabilized the morphology towards coalescence and significantly reduced the size of the dispersed phase domains, from an average diameter of 20 μm in the unmodified PE/PA blend to approximately 1 μm in the compatibilized blends. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Polyamide-6/Poly(lactic acid) Blends Compatibilized by the Maleic Anhydride Grafted Polyethylene-Octene Elastomer

To evaluate the feasibility of a strategy to partially replace polyamide-6 (PA6) with poly(lactic acid) (PLA), the morphology, mechanical, and thermal properties of PA6/PLA blending systems were investigated. Polyethylene-octene elastomer (POE) and POE grafted with maleic anhydride (POE-g-MAH) are added to improve the impact strength and elongation at break of the blend. The results show that POE-g-MAH is an effective compatibilizer for PA6/PLA blending system. Compared with the morphology of PA6/PLA/POE, smaller particle size, more homogeneous distribution of domains and improved interfacial adhesion between matrix and domains were observed in the PA6/PLA/POE-g-MAH blending system.     

Toughened polyoxymethylene by polyolefin elastomer and glycidyl methacrylate grafted high‐density polyethylene

Ternary blends of polyoxymethylene (POM), polyolefin elastomer (POE), and glycidyl methacrylate grafted high density polyethylene (GMA‐g‐HDPE) with various component ratios were studied for their mechanical and thermal properties. The size of POE dispersed phase increased with increasing the elastomer content due to the observed agglomeration. The notched impact strength demonstrated a parabolic tendency with increasing the elastomer content and reached the peak value of 10.81 kJ/m² when the elastomer addition was 7.5 wt%. The disappearance of epoxy functional groups in the POM/POE/GMA‐g‐HDPE blends indicated that GMA‐g‐HDPE reacted with the terminal hydroxyl groups of POM and formed a new graft copolymer. Higher thermal stability was observed in the modified POM. Both storage modulus and loss modulus decreased from dynamic mechanical analysis tests while the loss factor increased with increasing the elastomer content. GMA‐g‐HDPE showed good compatibility between the POM matrix and the POE dispersed phase due to the reactive compatibilization of the epoxy groups of GMA and the terminal hydroxyl groups of POM. A POM/POE blend without compatibilizer was researched for comparison, it was found that the properties of P‐7.5(POM/POE 92.5 wt%/7.5 wt%) were worse than those of the blend with the GMA‐g‐HDPE compatibilizer.

Study on the microstructures and mechanical behaviour of compatibilized polypropylene/polyamide‐6 blends

A series of blends of polypropylene (PP)–polyamide‐6 (PA6) with either reactive polyethylene–octene elastomer (POE) grafted with maleic anhydride (POE‐g‐MA) or with maleated PP (PP‐g‐MA) as compatibilizers were prepared. The microstructures and mechanical properties of the blends were investigated by means of tensile and impact testing and by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The results indicated that the miscibility of PP–PA6 blends was improved with the addition of POE‐g‐MA and PP‐g‐MA. For the PP/PA6/POE‐g‐MA system, an elastic interfacial POE layer was formed around PA6 particles and the dispersed POE phases were also observed in the PP matrix. Its Izod impact strength was four times that of pure PP matrix, whilst the tensile strength and Young's modulus were almost unchanged. The greatest tensile strength was obtained for PP/PA6/PP‐g‐MA blend, but its Izod impact strength was reduced in comparison with the pure PP matrix. © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry     

PA6/ABS合金的研制

Preparation of highly filled wood flour/recycled high density polyethylene composites by in situ reactive extrusion

Highly filled wood flour/recycled high density polyethylene (WF/RHDPE) composites were directly prepared by in situ reactive extrusion using a twin‐screw/single‐screw extruder system. The effects of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) content on extrusion pressure, rheological behavior, mechanical properties, fractured surface morphology of the composites, and melting temperature of RHDPE in the composites were investigated. The extrusion pressure and torque of WF/RHDPE composite melt increased with DCP content. Mechanical property tests and scanning electron microscopy analysis results confirmed that the interfacial interaction of the composites was improved by in situ reaction. The composites show lower melting peak temperature (T_m) than RHDPE. The cooling in profile extrusion shortened the crystallization time, resulting in decrease of crystalline order of RHDPE in the composites. There are no noticeable changes of T_m values with increasing DCP content. Comparative study on composites with maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene as compatibilizer demonstrated that mechanochemical treatment with DCP and maleic anhydride was an effective method to improve interfacial adhesion for WF/RHDPE composites. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

HDPE-g-MAH和POE-g-MAH对HDPE/PA6共混物性能的影响

Development of blown film linear low-density polyethylene–clay nanocomposites: Part A: Manufacturing process and morphology

In this study, linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE)/clay nanocomposites with different clay contents were prepared by melt intercalation using two different compatibilizers: maleic anhydride grafted styrene–ethylene–butylene–styrene and maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PE-g-MA). Melt intercalation was achieved by twin extrusion and nanocomposite films were produced by blown film extrusion. Effects of clay and compatibilizer fractions and type of compatibilizer on the structure, permeability, and the barrier properties of the nanocomposite films were investigated. PE-g-MA was shown to notably improve the dispersion of clay layers in the polyethylene matrix, and this was examined by atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The latter tests have also highlighted the importance of the screw configuration: the presence of mixing elements favors the dispersion and distribution of nanoclay. Moreover, differential scanning calorimetry results have shown no significant effect of the clay on the crystallinity of the composite while thermogravimetric analysis tests have demonstrated a decrease of onset and peak of decomposition temperatures. Finally, barrier properties toward water vapor transmission were measured. It was proven that not also clay, but the compatibilizer participated in decreasing the permeability of the film. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2020 , 137, 48589.     

Maleic anhydride/styrene melt grafting and crosslinking onto ethylene‐octene copolymer

Melt grafting of the multimonomer system of maleic anhydride (MAH)/styrene (St) onto ethylene‐octene copolymer (POE) was performed by a twin‐screw extruder. The effects of St and initiator contents as well as MAH/St on the grafting reaction were investigated. The structure and properties of the grafted POE were characterized by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, melt flow index, dynamic rheological behaviors, and thermogravimetric analysis. It is shown that the addition of St can significantly enhance MAH grafting degree onto POE. MFI values of grafted POE are affected not only by MAH/St copolymer concentration, but also by initiator concentration. These data indicate that the interaction and reaction between MAH and St monomers plays an important role in the grafting reaction. St improves the grafting reactivity of MAH and reacts with MAH before the two monomers graft onto POE. And high grafting degree can be obtained while the gel content is still low. Compared with neat POE, grafted POE shows different dynamic rheological behaviors and high thermal stability. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 2008. © 2008 Society of Plastics Engineers     

Compatibilizing effect of ethylene–propylene–diene grafted maleic anhydride terpolymer on the blend of polyamide 66 and thermal liquid crystalline polymer

Polyamide 66–thermal liquid crystalline polymer (PA66/TLCP) composites containing 10 wt% TLCP was compatibilized by ethylene–propylene–diene‐grafted maleic anhydride terpolymer (MAH‐g‐EPDM). The blending was performed on a twin‐screw extrusion, followed by an injection molding. The rheological, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), thermal, mechanical properties, as well as the morphology and FTIR spectra, of the blends were investigated and discussed. Rheological, DMA, and FTIR spectra results showed that MAH‐g‐EPDM is an effective compatibilizer for PA66/TLCP blends. The mechanical test indicated that the tensile strength, tensile elongation, and the bending strength of the blends were improved with the increase of the content of MAH‐g‐EPDM, which implied that the blends probably have a great frictional shear force, resulting from strong adhesion at the interface between the matrix and the dispersion phase; while the bending modulus was weakened with the increase of MAH‐g‐EPDM content, which is attributed to the development of the crystalline phase of PA66 hampered by adding MAH‐g‐EPDM.

Effects of maleated syndiotactic polystyrene on the morphology,mechanical properties,and crystallization behavior of syndiotactic polystyrene/polyamide 6 blends

The compatibilization of syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS)/polyamide 6 (PA‐6) blends with maleic anhydride grafted syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS‐g‐MA) as a reactive compatibilizer was investigated. The sPS/PA‐6 blends were in situ compatibilized by a reaction between the maleic anhydride (MA) of sPS‐g‐MA and the amine end group of PA‐6. The occurrence of the chemical reaction was substantiated by the disappearance of a characteristic MA peak from the Fourier transform infrared spectrum. Morphology observations showed that the size of the dispersed PA‐6 domains was significantly reduced and that the interfacial adhesion was much improved by the addition of sPS‐g‐MA. As a result of reactive compatibilization, the impact strengths of the sPS/PA‐6 blends increased with an increase in the sPS‐g‐MA content. The crystallization behaviors of the blends were affected by the compatibilization effect of sPS‐g‐MA. A single melting peak of sPS in the noncompatibilized blend was gradually split into two peaks as the amount of the compatibilizer increased. A single crystallization peak of PA‐6 in the noncompatibilized blend became two peaks with the addition of 3 wt % sPS‐g‐MA. The new peak was a result of the fractionation crystallization. As the amount of sPS‐g‐MA increased, the intensity of the new peak increased, and the original peak nearly disappeared. Finally, the crystallization peak of PA‐6 disappeared with 20 wt % sPS‐g‐MA in the blend. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 89: 2502–2506, 2003     

Effect of interfacial interaction on the crystallization and mechanical properties of PP/nano‐CaCO3 composites modified by compatibilizers

To investigate the effect of interfacial interaction on the crystallization and mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP)/nano‐CaCO₃ composites, three kinds of compatibilizers [PP grafted with maleic anhydride (PP‐g‐MA), ethylene–octene copolymer grafted with MA (POE‐g‐MA), and ethylene–vinyl acetate copolymer grafted with MA (EVA‐g‐MA)] with the same polar groups (MA) but different backbones were used as compatibilizers to obtain various interfacial interactions among nano‐CaCO₃, compatibilizer, and PP. The results indicated that compatibilizers encapsulated nano‐CaCO₃ particles, forming a core–shell structure, and two interfaces were obtained in the compatibilized composites: interface between PP and compatibilizer and interface between compatibilizer and nano‐CaCO₃ particles. The crystallization and mechanical properties of PP/nano‐CaCO₃ composites were dependent on the interfacial interactions of these two interfaces, especially the interfacial interaction between PP and compatibilizer. The good compatibility between PP chain in PP‐g‐MA and PP matrix improved the dispersion of nano‐CaCO₃ particles, favored the nucleation effect of nano‐CaCO₃, increased the tensile strength and modulus, but reduced the ductility and impact strength of composites. The partial compatibility between POE in POE‐g‐MA and PP matrix had little effect on crystallization and mechanical properties of PP/nano‐CaCO₃ composites. The poor compatibility between EVA in EVA‐g‐MA and PP matrix retarded the nucleation effect of nano‐CaCO₃, and reduced the tensile strength, modulus, and impact strength. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
