Abstract: | Polymer blends of Polycarbonate (PC) and Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene triblock (SBS) have been investigated. SBS copolymers have four different styrenic contents, three of which are linear SBS. PC and PS blends are partially miscible as revealed by dynamic mechanical analysis with two clear Tgs near 100–150°C. On the contrary, PC/SBS blends have only one Tg with a left shoulder. Based on the PS domain model of pure SBS, we suggest a micelle model based on the structure when the micelle and absorb PC in the PC/SBS blends. The micelle plays an important role in improving the miscibility. The proposed micelle model has been empolyed to interpret the testing results, such as toughness, impact strength, dynamic mechanical property and SEM morphologies. This proposed micelle model seems a worth-while method to explain the properties of partialtly miscible blends of PC and SBS. |
