Coalescence in blends of thermoplastic polyurethane with polyolefins

Abstract: The coalescence behavior of immiscible blends was determined by annealing the melt without shear. The kinetics and the mechanism of coalescence were observed for blends of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and polyolefins. Two different types of measurements were used to observe coalescence in quiescent melt at the processing temperature. On the one hand, the blend granules were annealed in bulk. The resulting particle sizes were determined by light microscopy and by SEM on particles separated from the blend. O… Show more

“…13 Since these immiscible blends are thermodynamically unstable, they must be stabilized to prevent coalescence during melt processing. 14 The stability of polymer blends is enhanced by addition of a useful block copolymer. 15 The influence of the EVA copolymer on the blend is shown in Figure 2.…”

“…Wallheinke et al [18] observaram em seus estudos com blendas de poliuretano termoplástico/polipropileno (TPU/PP) e poliuretano termoplástico /polietileno (TPU/PE) (para concentrações variando de 0,1 a 20% em massa de fase dispersa) que um significativo aumento da coalescência é observado para uma concentração muito mais baixa de fase dispersa (aproximadamente 1%). O processo de coalescência pode explicar as …”

“…diferenças entre os resultados de Wallheinke et al [18] e os resultados obtidos neste trabalho. A coalescência depende de dois parâmetros principais: do número de colisões das gotas e da habilidade da blenda de drenar o filme da fase matriz existente entre duas gotas da fase dispersa até que uma espessura crítica é alcançada para que a coalescência ocorra [19,20] : quando o número de colisões das gotas da fase dispersa e a habilidade de drenagem do filme é alta, a coalescência pode ocorrer em baixas concentrações de fase dispersa.…”
