Effects of polyphenylene oxide content on morphology, thermal, and mechanical properties of polyphenylene oxide/polyamide 6 blends

Abstract: ABSTRACT:A series of composites of PPO/PA 6 with improved toughness were synthesized by using -caprolactam as a reactive solvent. Inserting minor PPO macromolecules (1-3 wt %) into PA 6 matrix obviously reduced the crystallinity of PA6. Two crystallization temperatures were found when 6 wt % PPO was added. SEM revealed that the phase morphology of the composites could be manipulated by varying the content of PPO in PA 6. As a consequence, the impact strength and the elongation of PPO/PA6 were improved with mai… Show more

“…The results indicate that, although pre-PGS is almost amorphous at room temperature (RT), it will assume different state at low temperature below RT. If such kind of state can be fixed, the material with different mechanical properties can be obtained [22,23].…”

“…1,2 Because of the incompatibility and relatively low toughness of PPO and PA6, PPO/PA6 blends have low notched impact strength. Therefore, some impact modifiers, usually elastomers, have been used to toughen PPO/PA6 blends.…”

“…As reported in our previous studies, a series of monomercasting polyamide 6 (MCPA6) in-situ composites can be synthesized using e-caprolactam (CL) as reactive solvent. [8][9][10][11] The morphologies can be controlled by the dissolution/diffusion of polymers in reactive CL and the thermodynamics combined with the kinetics of reaction of …”
