Preparation of the HIPS/MA graft copolymer and its compatibilization in HIPS/PA1010 blends

The graft copolymer of high‐impact polystyrene (HIPS) grafted with maleic anhydride (MA) (HIPS‐g‐MA) was prepared with melt mixing in the presence of a free‐radical initiator. The grafting reaction was confirmed by infrared analyses, and the amount of MA grafted on HIPS was evaluated by a titration method. 1–5% of MA can be grafted on HIPS. HIPS‐g‐MA is miscible with HIPS. Its anhydride group can react with polyamide 1010 (PA1010) during melt mixing of the two components. The compatibility of HIPS‐g‐MA in the HIPS/PA1010 blends was evident. Evidence of reactions in the blends was confirmed in the morphology and mechanical behavior of the blends. A significant reduction in domain size was observed because of the compatibilization of HIPS‐g‐MA in the blends of HIPS and PA1010. The tensile mechanical properties of the prepared blends were investigated, and the fracture surfaces of the blends were examined by means of the scanning electron microscope. The improved adhesion in a 15% HIPS/75% PA1010 blend with 10% HIPS‐g‐MA copolymer was detected. The morphology of fibrillar ligaments formed by PA1010 connecting HIPS particles was observed. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 71: 2017–2025, 1999     

The effect of reactive compatibilization of carboxylated polystyrene on morphology and toughness of polyamide-1010/polystyrene blends

The morphology and notched impact behaviour of polyamide-1010/polystyrene (PA1010/PS) (90/10) blends compatibilized by carboxylated polystyrene (CPS) have been studied. It is found that the addition of CPS has a beneficial effect upon the morphology of the resulting blends which leads to a finer dispersion of the PA1010 spherulites and of the PS particles in the PA1010 matrix. However, with increasing CPS content, the shape of the PS domains appears less regular, which may be due to the cracking of the PS spherical domains. Infrared analysis was performed to confirm the formation of PS–PA1010 graft copolymer during the blending process. The notched impact toughness of the compatibilized blends shows a maximum which is almost triple that of the binary blend at approximately 5 wt% of the CPS addition based on the amount of PS. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry     

PA1010/TPU共混物流变性能的研究

以尼龙1010(PA1010)为基体，以聚酯型热塑性聚氨酯弹性体(TPU)为增韧剂，采用Haake PTW16／25p型双螺杆挤出机制备了PA1010／TPU共混增韧尼龙材料。测试了PA1010／TPU共混物的表观粘度、非牛顿指数等流变参数，并重点讨论了其流变性能。实验结果表明：共混物熔体的表现粘度随剪切速率的增大而降低，非牛顿指数小于1，符合假塑性流体流动规律。此外共混物的表观粘度随着组成和温度的变化呈现了一种极为特殊的变化行为。即在相同温度下，共混物的表观粘度随着TPU含量增加而增加；在相同组成下，共混物的表观粘度随着温度升高而升高。     

MORPHOLOGY,CRYSTALLIZATION BEHAVIORS,AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF PA1010/HIPS AND PA1010/HIPS-g-MA BLENDS

The binary blends of polyamide 1010 (PA1010) with the high-impact polystyrene (HIPS)/maleic anhydride (MA) graft copolymer (HIPS-g-MA) and with HIPS were prepared using a wide composition range. Different blend morphologies were observed by scanning electron microscopy according to the nature and content of PA1010 used. Compared with the PA1010/HIPS binary blends, the domain sizes of dispersed-phase particles in PA1010/HIPS-g-MA blends were much smaller than that in PA1010/HIPS blends at the same compositions. It was found that the tensile properties of PA1010/HIPS-g-MA blends were obviously better than that of PA1010/HIPS blends. Wide-angle x-ray diffraction analyses were performed to confirm that the number of hydrogen bonds in the PA1010 phase decreased in the blends of PA1010/HIPS-g-MA. These behaviors could be attributed to the chemical interactions between the two components and good dispersion in PA1010/HIPS-g-MA blends.

用磺化聚苯乙烯离体增容ＰＡ１０１０／ＨＩＰＳ共混体系,通过ＳＥＭ、ＤＭＡ偏光显微镜和冲击试验考究了离体对ＰＡ１０１０／ＨＩＰＳ体系结构与性能的影响,结果表明未中和的磺化聚乙烯具有最明显的增容效果,其加入量不超过ＨＩＰＳ量的２０％时共混物的冲击性能得到了提高。     

离聚体增容PA1010／SBS共混物的研究

采用磺化丁基胶锌盐(ZnSIIR)离聚体作为PA1010/SBS共混物的增容剂,研究了共混体系的结构、形态、相容性及对材料冲击性能的影响。结果表明,ZnSIIR的加入有效改善了SBS在PA1010中的相容性;对PA1010结晶起成核作用,并加快其结晶速率;共混物缺口冲击强度得到提高,且在PA1010/SBS为90/10、ZnSIIR为SBS的10％左右时效果较佳。     

Blends of polyamide1010 with unmodified and maleic‐anhydride‐grafted high‐impact polystyrene

The crystallization behaviors, dynamic mechanical properties, tensile, and morphology features of polyamide1010 (PA1010) blends with the high‐impact polystyrene (HIPS) were examined at a wide composition range. Both unmodified and maleic‐anhydride‐(MA)‐grafted HIPS (HIPS‐g‐MA) were used. It was found that the domain size of HIPS‐g‐MA was much smaller than that of HIPS at the same compositions in the blends. The mechanical performances of PA1010–HIPS‐g‐MA blends were enhanced much more than that of PA1010–HIPS blends. The crystallization temperature of PA1010 shifted towards higher temperature as HIPS‐g‐MA increased from 20 to 50% in the blends. For the blends with a dispersed PA phase (≤35 wt %), the T_c of PA1010 shifted towards lower temperature, from 178 to 83°C. An additional transition was detected at a temperature located between the T_g's of PA1010 and PS. It was associated with the interphase relaxation peak. Its intensity increased with increasing content of PA1010, and the maximum occurred at the composition of PA1010–HIPS‐g‐MA 80/20. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

剪切作用下POE-g-MAH和PP-g-MAH对PA1010/PP共混物的增容作用

采用熔融共混的方法制备了聚酰胺1010/聚丙烯（PA1010/PP）共混物,通过扫描电镜、力学性能和差示扫描量热等方法研究了剪切作用下马来酸酐接枝乙烯-辛烯共聚物（POE-g-MAH）和马来酸酐接枝聚丙烯（PP-g-MAH）对PA1010/PP共混物的增容作用。结果表明,同样条件下,PP-g-MAH增容体系的相区尺寸较小,相界面更模糊,PP相的结晶温度和结晶度明显提高,共混物的拉伸强度和冲击强度均高于非增容体系。而POE-g-MAH增容体系的相区尺寸相对较大,PP相的结晶温度和结晶度明显降低,共混物只有冲击强度明显高于非增容体系,拉伸强度略低于非增容体系。     

Morphology,thermal behavior,and mechanical properties of PA1010/PP and PA 1010/PP-g-GMA blends

The modification of polypropylene (PP) was accomplished by melt grafting glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) on its molecular chains. The resulting PP-g-GMA was used to prepare binary blends of polyamide 1010 (PA1010) and PP-g-GMA. Different blend morphologies were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) according to the nature and content of PA1010 used. Comparing the PA1010/PP-g-GMA and PA1010/PP binary blends, the size of the domains of PP-g-GMA were much smaller than that of PP at the same compositions. It was found that mechanical properties of PA1010/PP-g-GMA blends were obviously better than that of PA1010/PP blends, and the mechanical properties were significantly influenced by wetting conditions for uncompatibilized and compatibilized blends. A different dependence of the flexural modulus on water was found for PA1010/PP and PA1010/PP-g-GMA. These behaviors could be attributed to the chemical interactions between the two components and good dispersion in PA1010/PP-g-GMA blends. Thermal and rheological analyses were performed to confirm the possible chemical reactions taking place during the blending process. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

TiO_2包覆硅灰石填充对PA1010复合材料的影响

以硅灰石为原料,钛酸四正丁酯为包覆剂,采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了一种纳米TiO2包覆硅灰石复合颗粒,并用电子显微镜(SEM),红外光谱仪(FTIR)等对TiO2包覆硅灰石颗粒进行表征。结果表明:硅灰石表面均匀地包覆了一层厚度约为60nm的非晶态纳米TiO2,进而将TiO2包覆硅灰石复合颗粒填充尼龙1010(PA1010)。用差示扫描量热仪(DSC)对填充后复合材料的聚集态结构进行分析后发现,硅灰石表面包覆TiO2膜改善了硅灰石与尼龙基体的界面结合状况,同时对PA1010产生了诱导结晶作用。     

PA1010的熔融扩链反应

研究3种扩链剂（环氧树脂、二异氰酸酯和亚磷酸三苯酯）对聚酰胺（PA）的熔融扩链反应。针对具有不同熔体流动指数（MI）的PA材料，得出最佳的扩链剂加入量；并研究了扩链后的PA1010的MI，机械性能和结晶性能。结果表明：以环氧树脂为扩链剂反应活性最高，扩链效果比较明显，但有一定的交联反应发生，导致挤出物熔体破裂；二异氰酸酯在扩链时，由于其在高温下自身会发生化学反应，使扩链效率降低，利用亚磷酸三苯酯在单螺杆挤出机中进行扩链反应，扩链后PA1010的熔体粘度明显增加，MI下降，且交联轻微。     

相容剂和加工工艺对PA1010/PP共混体系形态和力学性能的影响

以马来酸酐（MAH）和苯乙烯（St）多单体熔融接枝聚丙烯[PP-g-(MAH-co-St）]为相容剂,制备了聚酰胺10101/聚丙烯（PA1010/PP）共混体系。用毛细管流变仪、扫描电子显微镜、力学性能测试等方法研究了和加工工艺相容剂对PA1010/PP共混体系的形态和力学性能的影响。结果表明,相容剂PP-g-(MAH-co-St)有效降低了PA1010/PP共混体系的熔体流动速率;该共混体系熔体属于假塑性流体,熔体黏度随PP-g-(MAH-co-St)含量的增加逐渐增大;随着相容剂含量的增加,PA1010/PP共混体系中分散相PP的粒径逐步减小,力学性能得到改善,PA1010/PP/PP-g-(MAH-co-St)为70/25/5和70/20/10的共混体系的拉伸强度分别比PA1010/PP (70/30)共混体系提高了55.0 %和61.9 %,冲击强度分别提高了61.0 %和129.7 %;剪切速率为706.5 s-1时出现熔体破裂现象,剪切速率为5002.65 s-1时出现严重熔体破裂。     

HIPS/EVA/CB体系的相容性

研究了炭黑(CB)对高抗冲聚苯乙烯(HIPS)/乙烯-乙酸乙烯酯共聚物(EVA)共混体系相容性的影响,并预测了共混体系的相形态转变点。填充CB后,当EVA用量大于50 phr时,碳氧双键伸缩振动峰的位置由1 737.9cm~(-1)偏移到1 706.5 cm~(-1)附近,且在1 240.0 cm~(-1)附近的碳氧单键峰减弱,近乎消失。采用半经验公式对共混体系进行理论预测,HIPS/EVA/CB共混体系理论上发生相形态转变时,HIPS的临界质量分数为50%～60%,经傅里叶变换红外光谱和扫描电子显微镜照片分析,共混体系发生相形态转变时,HIPS的质量分数约为42%。     

Studies on morphology and mechanical properties of PP/HIPS blends from postconsumer plastic waste

The aim of this work was to study the compatibilizing effect of the triblock copolymer poly(styrene‐b‐ethylene‐co‐butylene‐b‐styrene) (SEBS) on the morphology and mechanical properties of virgin and recycled polypropylene/high‐impact polystyrene (PP/HIPS) blends. The components of the blend were obtained from municipal plastics waste (MPW), with the PP obtained from blue mineral water bottles, symbolized as PP_b, and the HIPS from disposable cups. These materials were preground, washed only with water, dried with hot air, and ground again (PP_b) or agglutinated (HIPS). Blends of PP_b and HIPS in three weight ratios (6:1, 6:2, and 6:3) were prepared, and three concentrations of SEBS (5.0, 6.0, and 6.7% w/w) were used for investigations of its compatibilizing effect. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that SEBS reduced the diameter of HIPS dispersed particles that were globular and fibril shaped, along with improving the adhesion between the dispersed phase and the matrix. On the other hand, SEBS interactions with PP_b and HIPS influenced the mechanical properties of the compatibilized PP_b/HIPS/SEBS blends. The optimal concentration of SEBS was 5 wt % for application to composite films with similar characteristics to synthetic paper. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

脂环族环氧树脂扩链PA 1010

以脂环族环氧树脂为扩链剂,对聚酰胺(PA)1010的加成型化学扩链做了研究,并对3种扩链剂(ZH9221、ZH206和TDE85)的偶联效果和扩链产物的热稳定性能进行了探讨。结果表明,3种扩链剂对PA1010的扩链增粘均十分有效．熔体转矩可分别达到初始值的4倍、5倍和6倍以上,而且所需反应时间依次减少。其中,TDE85由于带有2个缩水甘油酯型环氧基团而活性很高,但在一定温度下熔体转矩达到极大值后开始缓慢下降,表明扩链产物在高温条件下发生断链。扩链剂用量存在最佳值．用量过多对扩链反应并无益处。扩链后PA1010的端羧基含量降至原先的20％～30％。     

共混条件对原位法制备的PS—MMA／PA6合金形态结构的影响

用原位聚合／原位增容的方法，在密炼机上将PSMMA／CL共混并引发CL阴离子聚合制备PS-g-PA6/PA6的共混物。试验发现，分散相颗粒直径随共混时间的延长而增大。调节大分子活化剂和小分子活化剂的用量，可以获得含有大量纳米级分散相的聚合物合金。提高密炼机的转子转速，有利于分散相颗粒的细化和均匀化。     

Rheological,thermal, and morphological properties of ABS–PA1010 blends

Noncompatibilized and compatibilized ABS–nylon1010 blends were prepared by melt mixing. Polystyrene and glycidyl methacrylate (SG) copolymer was used as a compatibilizer to enhance the interfacial adhesion and to control the morphology. This SG copolymer contains reactive glycidyl groups that are able to react with PA1010 end groups ( NH₂ or  COOH) under melt conditions to form SG‐g‐Nylon copolymer. Effects of the compatibilizer SG on the rheological, thermal, and morphological properties were investigated by capillary rheometer, DSC, and SEM techniques. The compatibilized ABS–PA1010 blend has higher viscosity, lower crystallinity, and smaller phase domain compared to the corresponding noncompatibilized blend. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Effect of ABS grafting degree and compatibilization on the properties of PBT/ABS blends

Blends of PBT/ABS and PBT/ABS compatibilized with styrene‐acrylonitrile‐glycidyl methacrylate (SAG) copolymer were prepared by melt blending method. Grafting degree (GD) of ABS influences the morphology and mechanical properties of PBT/ABS blends. ABS can disperse in PBT matrix uniformly and PBT/ABS blends fracture in ductile mode when ABS grafting degree is more than 44.8%, otherwise, agglomeration takes place and PBT/ABS blends fracture in brittle way. On the other hand, the grafting degree of ABS has no obvious influence on the morphology of PBT/ABS blends and PBT/ABS blends fracture in ductile mode when SAG is incorporated since the compatibilization effect. However, PBT/SAG/ABS blends display much lower impact strength values comparing with PBT/ABS when the blends fracture in ductile way. Side reactions in PBT/SAG/ABS blends were analyzed and which were the main reason for the decrease of impact strength of PBT blends. Tensile tests show that the tensile strength and tensile modulus of PBT blends decrease with the increase of ABS grafting degree due to the higher effective volume. PBT/SAG/ABS blends display much higher tensile properties than PBT/ABS blends since the compatibilization effect. POLYM. COMPOS., 28:484–492, 2007. © 2007 Society of Plastics Engineers
