Abstract:Core–shell polybutadiene‐graft‐polystyrene (PB‐g‐PS) graft copolymers with different ratios of PB to PS are synthesized by emulsion polymerization. Further, the PB‐g‐PS copolymers are blended with polypheylene ether (PPE) and PS to prepare PPE/PS/PB‐g‐PS blends. The effects of PB‐g‐PS copolymer structure and matrix composition on the morphological, mechanical properties, and deformation mechanism of the blends are studied. The results show that the synthesized submicrometer‐sized PB‐g‐PS copolymer has an excel… Show more
