“…Thus, the impact strength is significantly increased. The hydrogenated and maleinized SBS (SEBS‐g‐MAH) is an effective compatibilizer for PP and other polar polymers (PET, PC, and PA) with PS as continuous phase, and by homogenization, it leads especially to increased tensile strength and impact strength of polystyrene composites …”

The reuse of plastic components of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is an important concern both for environmental issues and to preserve the material resources, with minimum energy consumption. Considering that polystyrene fraction was reported as approximate 80% of the total amount of WEEE plastic, this article aims to evaluate the recycling of this fraction, without separation by components, by melt compounding with styrene-butadiene block-copolymer (SBS) and hydrogenated and maleinized SBS, the blend of the two elastomers acting both as an impact modifier and compatibilizer. The composites are characterized by mechanical analysis, impact tests, dynamic mechanical analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and X-ray diffraction. The recycling conditions of the polystyrene fraction as composites without eliminating the WEEE additives for improved UV and flame resistance, with physical mechanical properties comparable to those of high-impact polystyrene resulted from the study.

In this study, poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene)/polypropylene (ABS/PP) blends with various compositions were prepared by melt intercalation in a twin-screw extruder. Modifications of the above blends were performed by using organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT, Cloisite 30B) reinforcement as well as two types of compatibilizers, namely polypropylene grafted with maleic anhydride (PP-g-MAH) and ABS grafted with maleic anhydride (ABS-g-MAH). Increasing the PP content in ABS matrix seems to increase the melt flow and thermal stability of their blends, whereas a deterioration of the tensile properties was recorded. On the other hand, the addition of ABS to PP promotes the formation of the b-crystalline phase, which became maximum at 30 wt% ABS concentration, and increases the crystallization temperature (T c ) of PP. A tendency for increase of T c was also recorded by incorporation of the above compatibilizers, whereas the glass transition temperature (T g ) of PP and SAN phase in ABS was reduced. Regarding the Young's modulus, the greatest improvement was observed in pure ABS/PP blends containing organically modified nanoclay. However, in reinforced pure PP, the use of compatibilizers is recommended in order to improve the elastic modulus. The addition of OMMT to noncompatibilized and compatibilized ABS/PP blends significantly improves their storage modulus. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 56:458-468, 2016.

“…Polymer properties are directly affected by the compatibility between each phase . However, in general, polymer blends are mutually incompatible, and the properties of blended polymers are relatively poorer than expected . Therefore, compatibilizers are required to improve the polymer properties of the blend.…”

The effects of compatibilizer on the weathering properties and hydrolysis of the poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT)/poly(acrylonitrile‐styrene‐acrylate) (PolyASA) blend (70/30 wt %) were investigated. Poly(ethylene‐co‐glycidylmethacrylate‐g‐styrene‐co‐acrylonitrile) (EGMA‐g‐SAN) was used as a compatibilizer of the blend. When the EGMA‐g‐SAN content was 3 phr, the impact and tensile strengths of the PBT/PolyASA blend showed maximum; as the EGMA‐g‐SAN content was increased from 0 to 3 phr, the impact strength of the blend increased from 6.1 to 9.5 kJ m−2. The rheological results showed that when the EGMA‐g‐SAN was 3 phr, the storage modulus and complex viscosity of the blend also showed maximum value. The mechanical and rheological results of the blend were consistent with the morphological result that when the EGMA‐g‐SAN was 3 phr, PolyASA domain size of the blend showed minimum. The weathering results showed that when the EGMA‐g‐SAN content was 3 phr, the gloss value of weathered surface of the blend showed maximum. After hydrolysis test, when the EGMA‐g‐SAN content was 3 phr, the impact and tensile strengths of the blend showed maximum. The mechanical, rheological, and weathering results suggested that EGMA‐g‐SAN is an effective compatibilizer in the PBT/PolyASA blend, and the optimum compatibilizer content is 3 phr. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
