Abstract:Based on thermodynamic principles, a composition-processing-property relationship for predicting the modulus properties of multiphase plastic blends has been developed. This relationship describes the relative modulus of the blend in terms of the volume fraction and the index for the degree of mixing of an inclusionpolymer in the matrix-polymer. The relative modulus is defined as the ratio between the modulus of the blend and that of the matrix polymer. These blends include a nylon 6,6/polymethyl methacrylate(… Show more
