RESUMOCom o objetivo de desenvolver materiais poliméricos com elevada tenacidade, borrachas de poli(butadieno-co-acrilonitrila) (NBR), com teores de acrilonitrila (NA) variando de 32,9 a 45,7%, foram incorporadas ao poli(estireno-co-acrilonitrila) (SAN), por extrusão seguida de injeção. A adição do NBR resultou em um aumento significativo na resistência ao impacto e na deformação na ruptura, que foram fortemente influenciadas pela composição da blenda, pelo teor de acrilonitrila e pela viscosidade dos NBRs, porém, houve a diminuição da resistência à tração. Os resultados mais expressivos para resistência ao impacto (157,1 ± 3.7 J/m) foram obtidos para a blenda 70/30 (%m/m) utilizando NBR com 33,1% de acrilonitrila e viscosidade Mooney de 51 ML 1+4 (100°C), um valor cerca de 700% maior que o verificado para o SAN puro (22,4 ± 1.1 J/m). A análise da superfície de fratura por microscopia eletrônica de varredura revelou homogeneidade dos domínios elastoméricos dispersos na matriz, bem como o aparecimento de microtrincas e/ou deformação plástica para todas as blendas. O tamanho dos domínios de NBR diminui com o aumento do teor de acrilonitrila presente no NBR, enquanto a quantidade de domínios diminui com o aumento da viscosidade. ABSTRACTAiming the development of high toughness polymeric materials, poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) rubbers (NBRs) with acrylonitrile (AN) contents varying from 32.9 to 45.7% were incorporated to poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) (SAN) by monoscrew extrusion followed by injection molding. Addition of NBR resulted in significant improvements in the impact strength and the elongation at break, that were strongly influenced by the blend composition, the AN contents and the NBR melt viscosities, but the tensile strength was slightly decreased. The best impact strength results (157.1 ± 3.7J/m) were obtained with a 70/30 (%w/w) SAN/NBR blend using NBR with 33.1% of AN and Mooney viscosity of 51 ML 1+4 (100°C), being ca. 700% higher than the values for pure SAN (22.4 ± 1.1J/m). Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) from fracture surfaces revealed homogeneously dispersed spherical elastomeric domains, and the appearance of yielding and/or crazing processes for all blends. The size of NBR domains decreased as the AN content increased, while the number of NBR domains decreased as the melt viscosity increased.
