“…5,18 Some reports also describe the effect of a third polymer in PP/PLA blends as chitosan 19 and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS). 20 Besides compatibilization, some reports studied the effect of inorganic particles on the physic-mechanical properties of PP/PLA blends. The addition of carbon fiber improved both tensile and flexural properties of PP/PLA (25/75%) blend.…”

Semi-biodegradable polypropylene (PP)/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) (50:50 vol%) blend loaded with 0.6 vol% of pristine carbon nanotube (CNT) were prepared by melt compounding the components using different sequential mixing strategies: (i) all components together (PP/PLA/CNT); (ii) PP first mixed with CNT (PP@CNT/EVA) and (iii) EVA first mixed with CNT (EVA@CNT/PP). The composites presented co-continuous structure and the CNT selectively localized inside the PP phase or at the interface, regardless the order of the CNT addition into the mixing. These features were confirmed by selective extraction experiments and morphological studies: optical, scanning electron, and transmission electron microscopy. However, the preferential localization at the interface was predicted from wetting coefficient, determined from interfacial energy. Higher electrical conductivity values were achieved by using the onestep mixing approach, were all components were mixed together, whose value of around 10 À4 S/m was achieved by adding 0.6 vol% of CNT to the blend. The compatibilization with polypropylene-g-maleic anhydride increased the melt viscosity of the blend and composite but did not affect the conductivity or the tensile properties of the CNT-based composite.

“…The refractive index of polybutadiene is 1.515, 34 which requires the refractive index of the matrix resin to be similar. 1 H NMR spectra of MSAN resin are shown in Figure 2. The multiplet at 6.6-7.6 ppm corresponded to protons of the aromatic ring.…”

“…Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin is an important engineering thermoplastic material, and is comprised of a rigid matrix resin with toughened rubber particles dispersed throughout. [1][2][3][4][5][6] As a multi-component composite material, ABS resin has excellent comprehensive performance due to the complementary and cohesive advantages of each component. This material is widely employed in household appliances, automobile dashboards, construction pipes, medical equipment and electronic industries.…”

Submicron polybutadiene particles were prepared using four different methods: one-step batch emulsion polymerization, pressure agglomeration, acid agglomeration, and polymer latex agglomeration. Core-shell elastomers were synthesized by grafting styrene and methyl methacrylate on polybutadiene particles. Transparent methacrylate-acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene resin was prepared by blending the elastomers with methacrylate-styrene-acrylonitrile matrix resin synthesized by bulk polymerization. The effects of the construction method of submicron rubber particles on core-shell elastomer structure and composite properties were investigated. Additionally, the relationship between the rubber phase structure and composite properties was studied. The obtained results showed that the construction method significantly affected the size distribution and morphology of the submicron rubber particles. The rubber particles prepared by one-step batch emulsion polymerization were grafted easily, with 90.2% grafting efficiency of the corresponding core-shell elastomer. The grafting efficiency of the rubber particles prepared by acid agglomeration was only 69.4%. The former was most suitable as the toughening core of transparent Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene resin, and the transmittance and haze values of the composite were 90% and 2.4, respectively. Impact and tensile strengths were 185.6 J/m and 39 MPa, respectively. The acid agglomeration method generated submicron rubber particles more quickly, and the transmittance and haze of composite were 90% and 2.9, respectively. However, the impact and tensile strengths were reduced to 170.4 J/m and 31 MPa, respectively.

“…[ 3 ] Recent works in the literature have revealed the significant potential of ternary polymer mixtures in tailoring the morphology and, consequently, pushing the limits of the final properties of multiphase polymer systems. [ 4,5 ] The third component in these systems can be a solid nanoparticle, [ 6–9 ] a solvent, [ 10,11 ] or another polymer component localized at the interface of the two other phases. [ 12,13 ] Many previous studies have examined phase separation and morphology evolution during the spinodal decomposition of ternary polymer–polymer–solvent systems.…”

This work aims at studying the mechanism involved in the phase coarsening of ternary tri‐continuous polymer blends. To this aim, the phase coarsening behaviors of a co‐continuous polyethylene (PE)/polyethylene oxide (PEO) blend, and a tri‐continuous PE/polycaprolactone (PCL)/PEO blend during the quiescent annealing process are studied. Rheological characterization showed that the zero‐shear viscosities of PE and PCL phases were similar but much less than the zero‐shear viscosity of the PEO phase. The evolution of the microstructure of the blends during annealing was characterized using a characteristic length scale (λ). It was found that λ in both co‐ and tri‐continuous blends increased linearly in the early stages of annealing but the phase coarsening rate decreased in both systems at longer annealing times. In general, the tri‐continuous blend showed much faster phase coarsening rate. The effects of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters on the observed phase coarsening behaviors are discussed in detail. A new lubricating mechanism is proposed in which the deformation of the PCL layer between PE and PEO phases reduces the effect of high viscosity of the PEO phase and increases the phase coarsening rate in ternary blends. The obtained results provide a new insight into the role of the middle layer in tri‐continuous polymer blends on controlling the phase morphology of these systems.
