The pressure-induced-flow (PIF) processing can effectively prepare high-performance polymer materials. This paper studies the influence of pressure-induced-flow processing on the morphology, thermodynamic and mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP)/polyamide 6 (PA6) blends, PP/polyolefin elastomer (POE) blends and PP/thermoplastic urethane (TPU) blends. The results show that pressure-induced-flow processing can significantly improve the thermodynamic and mechanical properties of the blends by regulating internal structure. Research shows that the pressure-induced-flow processing can increase the strength and the toughness of the blends, particularly in PP/TPU blends.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
