Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) was grafted using long chain molecules like oleic acid and dodecylamine. Grafting took place at the butadiene region of ABS. Grafted ABS (g-ABS) polymers were characterized using FTIR and blended with nylon-66 in various proportions. Physical, chemical, mechanical and thermal properties of the blends were analyzed. A physical blending technique was followed between nylon-66 and ABS and all properties were compared with the modified blends. SEM reveals that miscibility characteristics were found to be enhanced, as the modification of ABS makes it more compatible with nylon-66.
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.
