Blends containing various percentages of linear low‐density polyethylene and soya powder were prepared. The effects of polyethylene‐graft‐(maleic anhydride) (PE‐g‐MA) as a compatibilizer and soya powder content on the natural weathering were investigated. Blends without PE‐g‐MA were used as controls. The soya powder was varied from 5 to 40 wt% of the blends, and PE‐g‐MA was used at 50 wt% based on soya powder content. The samples were exposed to natural weathering in the northern part of Malaysia for 1 year. Higher decreases in tensile strength and elongation at break of the controls were observed as compared to those of the PE‐g‐MA compatibilized blends after the natural weathering. The Young's modulus of both controls and compatibilized blends increased over the environmental exposure period. A control sample lost 8.8% of its original weight after 1 year of weathering, whereas a compatibilized blend lost 7.5 wt% during the same period. J. VINYL ADDIT.

Poly(butylene terephthalate)/high density polyethylene (PBT/HDPE) blends and PBT/HDPE‐grafted maleic anhydride (PBT/HDPE‐g‐MAH) blends were prepared by the reactive extrusion approach, and the effect of blend compositions on the morphologies and properties of PBT/HDPE blends and PBT/HDPE‐g‐MAH blends was studied in detail. The results showed that flexural strength, tensile strength, and notched impact strength of PBT/HDPE blends decreased with the addition of HDPE, and flexural strength and tensile strength of PBT/HDPE‐g‐MAH blends decreased, while the notched impact strength of PBT/HDPE‐g‐MAH increased with the addition of HDPE‐g‐MAH. Compared with PBT/HDPE blends, the dimension of the dispersed phase particles in PBT/HDPE‐g‐MAH blends was decreased and the interfacial adhesion was increased. On the other hand, the effects of HDPE and HDPE‐g‐MAH contents on the crystalline and the rheological properties of the blends were also investigated. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The effects of polyethylene‐grafted maleic anhydride (PE‐g‐MA) on the thermal properties, morphology, and tensile properties of blends of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) and corn starch were studied with a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and Instron Universal Testing Machine, respectively. Corn starch–LDPE blends with different starch content and with or without the addition of PE‐g‐MA were prepared with a lab‐scale twin‐screw extruder. The crystallization temperature of LDPE–corn starch–PE‐g‐MA blends was similar to that of pure LDPE but higher than that of LDPE–corn starch blends. The interfacial properties between corn starch and LDPE were improved after PE‐g‐MA addition, as evidenced by the structure morphology revealed by SEM. The tensile strength and elongation at break of corn starch–LDPE–PE‐g‐MA blends were greater than those of LDPE–corn starch blends, and their differences became more pronounced at higher starch contents. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The use of compatibilizers as interfacial agents in composites can offer a convenient way to improve the mechanical properties of immiscible polymer blends. The aim of this article is to illustrate the compatibilization effect of polyethylene‐graft‐maleic anhydride (PEgMA) in blends of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) and n‐dodecylbenzene sulfonate doped polyaniline (PANIDBSA) prepared by extrusion. Films with different compositions of the coupling agent were evaluated with optical spectroscopy and thermomechanical, electrical, mechanical, and morphological techniques. The incorporation of PEgMA into the LDPE/PANIDBSA composites resulted in an improvement of their electrical conductivity and changes in the mechanical and morphological properties of the films. When 5 wt % of the coupling agent was added to a 30 wt % of the polyaniline‐containing film, the conductivity increased by more than three orders of magnitude, and the ductility also improved qualitatively. The morphology analysis also indicated that the addition of PEgMA produced a strengthening of the filler–matrix interfacial region. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010 相似文献

Effects of polyethylene‐grafted maleic anhydride as a compatibilizer on the tensile properties of (high‐density polyethylene)/(natural rubber)/(thermoplastic tapioca starch) (HDPE/NR/TPS) blends were investigated. The ratio of HDPE/NR was fixed at 70/30, and these materials were blended with TPS in concentrations varying from 5 to 30% by using a Haake Rheomix 600 mixer. Two series of HDPE/NR/TPS blends were prepared, i.e., with and without compatibilizer. Morphology and tensile properties of the HDPE/NR/TPS blends were evaluated as a function of TPS loading. The tensile strength and elongation at break decreased with the increase of TPS content. However, an improvement in the tensile strength was obtained for compatibilized blends as compared to uncompatibilized blends. The degrees of TPS adhesion and dispersion in HDPE/NR blends were revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results showed that a smaller‐sized dispersed phase was achieved for compatibilized blends as compared to that for their uncompatibilized counterparts. J. VINYL ADDIT.

The crystallization of a series of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE)‐ and linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE)‐rich blends was examined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). DSC analysis after continuous slow cooling showed a broadening of the LLDPE melt peak and subsequent increase in the area of a second lower‐temperature peak with increasing concentration of LDPE. Melt endotherms following stepwise crystallization (thermal fractionation) detailed the effect of the addition of LDPE to LLDPE, showing a nonlinear broadening in the melting distribution of lamellae, across the temperature range 80–140°C, with increasing concentration of LDPE. An increase in the population of crystallites melting in the region between 110 and 120°C, a region where as a pure component LDPE does not melt, was observed. A decrease in the crystallite population over the temperature range where LDPE exhibits its primary melting peaks (90–110°C) was noted, indicating that a proportion of the lamellae in this temperature range (attributed to either LDPE or LLDPE) were shifted to a higher melt temperature. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Linear low‐density polyethylene was blended with soya powder, and the blends were compatibilized with epoxidized natural rubber having 50 mol% of epoxidation. The content of soya powder was varied from 0 to 40 wt%. The blends were irradiated at 30 kGy with an electron beam. Degradation of the irradiated blends was evaluated by exposing the samples to an outdoor environment according to ISO 877.2. The degradation was monitored by changes in the tensile, morphological, and thermal properties, as well as the molecular structure and weight loss. The tensile strength and elongation at break (Eb) of the exposed samples decreased as a function of exposure period. The irradiated blends exhibited higher retention of tensile strength and Eb than nonirradiated blends after 1 year of exposure. The crystallinity of the irradiated blends increased upon exposure, though the nonirradiated blends showed higher crystallinity indicating higher degradability. Weight loss of the irradiated blends showed less change after 6 months of outdoor exposure, but significant change was observed after 1‐year exposure. The molecular weight changes of the irradiated blends exhibited the same trend as weight loss. All the results confirmed that the degradability of the irradiated blends was comparable to that of the nonirradiated blends upon long‐term outdoor exposure. J. VINYL ADDIT.

Modification of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) hyperbranched grafting with a maleic anhydride (MAH) was carried out using corotating twin screw extruder in the presence of benzoyl peroxide. The LDPE/polyamide 6 (PA6) and LDPE‐g‐MAH/PA6 blends were obtained with a corotating twin screw extruder. The melt viscosity of the grafted LDPE was measured by a capillary rheometer. The grafted copolymer was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy The effects of variations in temperature, PA6 loading, and benzoyl peroxide and MAH concentration were investigated. The results show that most MAH monomers were grafted onto the LDPE at a lower MAH concentration. With the proper selection of the reaction parameters, we obtained a grafting degree higher than 4.9%. Mechanical test results indicate that the blends had good interfacial adhesion and good stability of the phase structure during heating, which was reflected in the mechanical properties. Furthermore, the results reveal that the tensile strength of the blends increased continuously with increasing PA6 content. Moreover, the home‐synthesized maleated LDPE could be used for the compatibilization of LDPE/PA 6 blends. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010 相似文献

The photo‐oxidation behavior at the exposed surfaces of maleated low‐density polyethylene [LDPE poly(ethylene‐co‐butylacrylate‐co‐maleic anhydride) (PEBAMA)] and montmorillonite (MMT) composites was studied using attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and mechanical testing. Two different MMT clays were used with the maleated polyethylene, an unmodified clay, MMT, and an organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) clay which was significantly exfoliated in the composite. The morphologies of sample films were examined by XRD and TEM. The results were explained in terms of the effect of the compatibilizing agent PEBAMA on the clay dispersion. It was found that the OMMT particles were exfoliated in the polymer matrix in the presence of the PEBAMA, whereas the MMT clay particles were agglomerated in this matrix. Both mechanical and spectroscopic analyses showed that the rates of photo oxidative degradation of the LDPE‐PEBAMA–OMMT were higher than those for LDPE and LDPE‐PEBAMA–MMT. The acceleration of the photo‐oxidative degradation for LDPE‐PEBAMA–OMMT is attributed to the effects of the compatibilizer and the organic modifier in the composite. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The objective of this study was to investigate the degradability of linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE)/(soya powder) blends. The blends were compatibilized by epoxidized natural rubber with 50 mol% of epoxidation. They were exposed to a natural compost medium located in northern Malaysia. The degradability was evaluated by using tensile tests, a morphological study, carbonyl indices, crystallinity measurements, weight loss, and molecular‐weight changes. The tensile strength and elongation at break of the compatibilized blends decreased during one year of exposure. The colonization of fungus and the formation of pores were observed in micrographs. The carbonyl indices, crystallinity, and weight loss increased during exposure, thereby indicating the degradation of the blends. The reduction in molecular weight revealed the degradation of the LLDPE upon composting. Surprisingly, after composting, the compatibilized blends showed more degradation than the uncompatibilized ones. J. VINYL ADDIT. TECHNOL., 20:42–48, 2014. © 2014 Society of Plastics Engineers 相似文献

Properties of recycled Poly(ethylene terephthalate) were greatly improved. Recycled PET was blended with LLDPE‐g‐MA by low‐temperature solid‐state extrusion. Mechanical properties of the blends were affected obviously by the added LLDPE‐g‐MA. Elongation at break reaches 352.8% when the blend contains 10 wt % LLDPE‐g‐MA. Crystallization behavior of PET phase was affected by LLDPE‐g‐MA content. Crystallinity of PET decreased with the increase of LLDPE‐g‐MA content. FTIR testified that maleic anhydride group in LLDPE‐g‐MA reacted with the end hydroxyl groups of PET and PET‐co‐LLDPE‐g‐MA copolymers were in situ synthesized. SEM micrographs display that LLDPE‐g‐MA phase and PET phase are incompatible and the compatibility of the blends can be improved by the forming of PET‐co‐LLDPE‐g‐MA copolymer. LLDPE‐g‐MA content was less, the LLDPE‐g‐MA phase dispersed in PET matrix fine. With the increase of LLDPE‐g‐MA content, the morphology of dispersed LLDPE‐g‐MA phase changed from spherule to cigar bar, then to irregular spherule. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The impact of chitosan on the natural weathering behavior of two blends obtained by mixing either polyethylene (PE) with chitosan or PE, chitosan and polyethylene‐graft‐maleic anhydride (PEgMA) as a compatibilizer is analyzed. In order to follow the weathering behavior of both the uncompatibilized and compatibilized systems, the blend films are exposed to outdoor conditions for 6 months. The weathering behavior of the films is monitored by mechanical tests, spectroscopic Fourier transform infrared, and morphological analyses at different weathering periods of time. The presence of chitosan in the blends accelerates significantly the degradation of the films. Apparently, PEgMA also accelerates the photo‐oxidation rate of the films. This behavior appears to be related to the photo‐oxidative instability of maleic anhydride, and also to the better dispersion of chitosan in the PE matrix, which is due to the interactions in the PE/chitosan interface caused by the addition of the compatibilizer. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT)/linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) alloy was prepared with a reactive extrusion method. For improved compatibility of the blending system, LLDPE grafted with acrylic acid (LLDPE‐g‐AA) by radiation was adopted in place of plain LLDPE. The toughness and extensibility of the PBT/LLDPE‐g‐AA blends, as characterized by the impact strengths and elongations at break, were much improved in comparison with the toughness and extensibility of the PBT/LLDPE blends at the same compositions. However, there was not much difference in their tensile (or flexural) strengths and moduli. Scanning electron microscopy photographs showed that the domains of PBT/LLDPE‐g‐AA were much smaller and their dispersions were more homogeneous than the domains and dispersions of the PBT/LLDPE blends. Compared with the related values of the PBT/LLDPE blends, the contents and melting temperatures of the usual spherulites of PBT in PBT/LLDPE‐g‐AA decreased. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Linear low‐density polyethylenes and low‐density polyethylenes of various compositions were melt‐blended with a batch mixer. The blends were characterized by their melt strengths and other rheological properties. A simple method for measuring melt strength is presented. The melt strength of a blend may vary according to the additive rule or deviate from the additive rule by showing a synergistic or antagonistic effect. This article reports our investigation of the parameters controlling variations of the melt strength of a blend. The reciprocal of the melt strength of a blend correlates well with the reciprocal of the zero‐shear viscosity and the reciprocal of the relaxation time of the melt. An empirical equation relating the maximum increment (or decrement) of the melt strength to the melt indices of the blend components is proposed. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A high‐density polyethylene with grafted maleic anhydride units has been investigated as a compatibilizer for high‐density polyethylene with polyamide 6. The material acts as an effective compatibilizer, causing a marked reduction in dispersed phase size as well as an increase in tensile strength and toughness. Compatibilizer also affects the glass‐transition temperature, crystallization kinetics, and amount of crystalline material for certain blend compositions. The addition of zinc cations, which are effective in increasing ethylene‐acid copolymer compatibilizer performance in low‐density polyethylene/polyamide blends, has little, if any, effect on compatibilizer performance in these high‐density polyethylene/polyamide blends. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Low density polyethylene (LDPE) was reacted with benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and 2,2,6,6‐tetramethyl‐l‐piperidinyloxy (TEMPO) to prepare a latent macroinitiator, PE–TEMPO. Little polymer was synthesized when maleic anhydride (MAH) was bulk polymerized in the presence of the PE–TEMPO. However, addition of styrene accelerated the polymerization rate and PE‐grafted‐poly(styrene‐co‐maleic anhyride) [PE‐g‐P(ST‐co‐MAH)] was produced to a high yield. Chemical reaction between MAH units and hydroxyl groups of starch was nearly undetectable in the PE/PE‐g‐P(ST‐co‐MAH)/starch blend system, and the tensile properties of the blend were not enhanced significantly. However, addition of tetrabutyl titanate (TNBT) during the blending procedure improved the tensile properties significantly through an increased interfacial adhesion between the components in the blend system. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Ultrahigh‐molecular‐weight polyethylene/copper (UHMWPE/Cu) composites compatibilized with polyethylene‐graft‐maleic anhydride (PE‐g‐MAH) were prepared by compression molding. The effects of the compatibilizer on the mechanical, thermal, and tribological properties of the UHMWPE/Cu composites were investigated. These properties of the composites were evaluated at various compositions, and worn steel surfaces and composite surfaces were examined with scanning electron microscopy and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The incorporation of PE‐g‐MAH reduced the melting points of the composites and increased their crystallinity to some extent. Moreover, the inclusion of the PE‐g‐MAH compatibilizer greatly increased the tensile rupture strength and tensile modulus of the composites, and this improved the wear resistance of the composites. These improvements in the mechanical and tribological behavior of the ultrahigh‐molecular‐weight‐polyethylene‐matrix composites with the PE‐g‐MAH compatibilizer could be closely related to the enhanced crosslinking function of the composites in the presence of the compatibilizer. Moreover, the compatibilizer had an effect on the transfer and oxidation behavior of the filler Cu particulates, which could be critical to the application of metallic‐particulate‐filled polymer composites in engineering. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and solid‐state 13C‐NMR techniques were used to analyze the structural changes of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) in blends of a low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) and PVC during melt blending. The GPC results showed that the weight‐average molecular weight (Mw) of PVC increased with LDPE content up to 13.0 wt % and then decreased at a LDPE content of 16.7 wt %, whereas the number‐average molecular weight remained unchanged for all of LDPE contents used. The 13C‐NMR results suggest that the increase in Mw was associated with the formation of a LDPE‐g‐PVC structure, resulting from a PVC and LDPE macroradical cross‐recombination reaction during melt blending. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A hydrogel composite that has been prepared by using waste linear low‐density polyethylene, acrylic acid, and organo‐montmorillonite (LLDPE‐g‐PAA/OMMT) is used as a hydrogel electrolyte. An absorbency test was used to determine the percentage of ZnCl2 solution absorbed by the hydrogel composite. The swelling behavior of the hydrogel composite in the ZnCl2 solution was then studied. The highest absorbency was recorded when the concentration of ZnCl2 solution was 3 M. The conductivity of ZnCl2‐hydrogel composite electrolytes is dependent on the solution's concentration. A mixture of ZnCl2 solution with hydrogel composite yields a good hydrogel composite electrolyte with a conductivity of 0.039 S cm?1 at 3 M ZnCl2. The hydrogel composite electrolyte was used to produce zinc‐carbon cells. The fabricated cell gives capacity of 7.8 mAh, has an internal resistance of 9.9 Ω, a maximum power density of 15.78 mWcm?2, and a short‐circuit current density of 43.75 mAcm?2 for ZnCl2‐hydrogel composite electrolytes.

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) blends (75/25), with contents of poly(ethylene‐co‐methacrylic acid) partially neutralized with lithium (PEMA–Li) that were systematically changed from 0 to 45% relative to the LLDPE, were obtained by direct injection molding in an attempt to (1) ameliorate the performance of the binary blend and (2) find the best compatibilizer content. PEMA–Li did not modify the PET or LLDPE amorphous‐phase compositions or the crystalline content of PET. However, PEMA–Li did lead to a nucleation effect and to the presence of a second smaller and less perfect crystalline structure. PET induced a fractional crystallization in LLDPE that remained in the presence of PEMA–Li and reduced the crystallinity of LLDPE. The ternary blends showed two similar dispersed LLDPE and PEMA–Li phases with small subparticles, probably PET, inside. The compatibilizing effect of PEMA–Li was clearly shown by the impressive increase in the break strain, along with only small decreases in the modulus of elasticity and in the tensile strength. With respect to the recycling possibilities of LLDPE, a ternary blend with the addition of 22.5% PEMA–Li, which led to very slight modulus and yield stress decreases with respect to the binary blend and a break strain increase of 480%, appeared to be the most attractive. However, the highest property improvement appeared with the addition of 37.5% PEMA–Li, which led to elasticity modulus and tensile strength decreases of only 9%, along with a very high break strain increase (760%). © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
