Abstract:Toughening behavior of semicrystalline polymers was investigated using syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS)/polyamide 6(PA-6) blends compatibilized with maleic-anhydride functionalized poly (styrene-b-(ethyleneco-butylene)-b-styrene) SEBS-MA triblock copolymer. The effect of interparticle distance and crystal microstructure near the particle/matrix interface of the blends were studied. The morphology studies revealed that the size and interparticle distance of the dispersed PA-6 particles decreased with increasing S… Show more
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.
