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.     

Morphological,mechanical and thermal properties of nylon 6/ABS blends using glycidyl methacrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymers

Nylon6 is an attractive polymer for engineering applications because it has reactive functionality through amine and carboxyl end groups that are capable of reacting. For this reason, it has been used a lot in polymeric blends. Blends of nylon6/ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) were produced using glycidyl methacrylate-methyl methacrylate (GMA-MMA) copolymers as compatibilizer. The binary blends were immiscible and exhibited poor mechanical properties that stemmed from the unfavorable interactions among their molecular segments. This produced an unstable coarse phase morphology and weak interfaces between the phases in the solid state. The presence of the copolymer in the blends clearly led to a more efficient dispersion of the ABS phase and consequently optimized Izod impact properties. However, the compatibilized blend showed poor toughness at room temperature and failed in a brittle manner at subambient temperatures.     

Effect of different polypropylenes and compatibilizers on the rheological,mechanical and morphological properties of nylon 6/PP blends

In this work, the rheological, mechanical and morphological properties of nylon 6/polypropylene compatibilized blends were investigated. Two types of polypropylene were used. One with MFI of 40 g/10 min (PP H103) and the other with MFI of 3.5 g/10 min (PP H503). The compatibilizers used were polypropylene grafted with 6% of acrylic acid (PPgAA) and polypropylene grafted with 1% of maleic anhydride (PPgMA). The blends composition was 80/20 (wt%) for the PA6/PP binary blends and 80/10/10(wt%) for the nylon 6/PPgAA/polypropylene and nylon 6/PPgMA/polypropylene ternary blends. Torque rheometry analysis showed that when PPgAA and PPgMA were added to nylon 6/polypropylene blends, there was an increase in the torque, indicating that reactive compatibilization has occurred. There is no influence of the polypropylene MFI on the mechanical properties of the uncompatibilized and compatibilized blends. The impact strength of the blends containing PPgMA were greater than those of the blends containing PPgAA. The blends containing PPgAA are unstable. SEM analysis showed that PPgMA improves considerably the adhesion between PA6/PP phases, leading to good mechanical properties.     

Compatibilizing effect of ethylene-vinyl acetate-acrylic acid copolymer on nylon 6/ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer blended system: mechanical properties, morphology and rheology

A polymer blended system of nylon 6 and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) compatibilized with ethylene-vinyl acetate-acrylic acid ternary copolymer (EVAA) has been studied. EVA is incompatible with nylon 6, however, the combination of the EVA and EVAA results in compatibilized blends with good toughness. The compatibilization of EVAA is achieved by the similar structure with EVA and the reaction between its carboxylic groups and amine groups of nylon 6. The ternary blends were characterized through the mechanical, morphological and rheological property investigations. The dramatic increasing in impact strength and the fine dispersing of EVA in nylon 6 matrix demonstrated a good compatibilizing effect of EVAA on the blends of nylon 6 and EVA.     

Impact essential work of fracture toughness of ABS/polyamide-6 blends compatibilized with olefin based copolymers

The impact fracture toughness of acrylonitrile-styrene-butadiene/polyamide-6 (ABS/PA6) blends compatibilized with 5% by weight carbon monoxide modified ethylene-n butyl acrylate-maleic anhydride (EnBACO-MAH) or ethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate (EMA-GMA) copolymers were examined as a function of blend ratio by standard Charpy tests, Essential Work of Fracture (EWF) Methodology and fracture surface morphologies. The samples were first processed in twin-screw extruder and they were subsequently injection moulded. The incompatibilized blends and neat-PA6 fractured in brittle manner, whereas compatibilized blends fractured in ductile manner. The EWF values yielded a maximum when weight percentages of ABS and PA6 were equal to each other. The values obtained in the case of EnBACO-MAH were higher than that of EMA-GMA regardless of blend composition in EWF tests. The trend of impact strengths observed in standard notched Charpy impact tests was in accordance with that of EWF values of blends. The morphology of the ABS/PA6 blends exhibited differences as a function of the component ratio and compatibilizer type. These differences in topology of the fracture surfaces of the blends were utilized to understand the deformation mechanism, and to correlate the fracture toughness values of the blends.

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.

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.

Preparation of the HIPS/MA graft copolymer and its compatibilization in PA6/HIPS blends

The graft copolymer of high impact polystyrene (HIPS) grafted with malice anhydride (MA) (HIPS-g-MA) was prepared with melt mixing in the presence of a free-radical initiator. The grafting reaction was confirmed by IR analyses and the amount of MA grafted on HIPS was evaluated by a titration method. 1–5 wt% of MA can be grafted on HIPS. HIPS-g-MA is miscible with HIPS. Its anhydride group can react with the PA6 during melt mixing the two components. The compatibility of HIPS-g-MA in the HIPS/PA6 blends was evident. Evidence of reactions in the blends was confirmed in the morphology and mechanical properties 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 PA6. 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 (SEM). The improved adhesion in a 16%HIPS/75%PA6 blend with 9%HIPS-g-MA copolymer was detected. The morphology of fibrillar ligaments formed by PA6 connecting HIPS particles was observed.

Effect of grafting cellulose acetate and methylmethacrylate as compatibilizer onto NBR/SBR blends

Compatibilizer is used for improving of processability, interfacial interaction and mechanical properties of polymer blends. In this study acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) blends were compatibilized by a graft copolymer of acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) grafted with cellulose acetate (CA) i.e. (NBR-g-CA) and acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) grafted with methylmethacrylate i.e. (NBR-g-MMA). Compatibilizers were prepared by gamma radiation induced grafting of NBR with cellulose acetate (CA) and methylmethacrylate (MMA) were added with different ratios to NBR/SBR (50/50) blend. The compatibilized blends were evaluated by rheometric characteristics, physico-mechanical properties, swelling behavior, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and thermal analysis. The results showed that, the blends with graft copolymer effect greatly on the rheological characteristics [optimum cure time (Tc₉₀), scorch time (Ts₂), and the cure rate index (CRI)]. The physico-mechanical properties of the investigated blends were enhanced by the incorporation of these graft copolymers, while the resistance to swelling in toluene became higher. SEM photographs confirm that, these compatibilizers improve the interfacial adhesion between NBR/SBR (50/50) blend which induce compatibilization in the immiscible blends. The efficiency of the compatibilizer was also evaluated by studying the thermogravimetric analysis.
