Interface/morphology/property relationships in polyamide‐6/ABS blends

Morphology and Thermal Properties of MCPA6/ABS by in situ Polymerization of ε‐Caprolactam

“…One of the key factors to achieve the desired final properties is the control of morphology. [18,[21][22][23] Various researchers have studied the morphology of different polymer blends. A blend morphology where one component is dispersed within a continuum of the other has received great attention in the literature.…”

“…[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] An effective strategy for compatibilizing immiscible blends is using in situ formed block or graft copolymers at the interface, which act as emulsifiers to stabilize the morphology formed and enhance the interfacial adhesion strength between the phases. [1,6,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Summary: In this work, blends of monomer casting polyamide 6 (MCPA6) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) were successfully prepared by in situ polymerization via the application of e-caprolactam as a reactive solvent. The morphology and thermal properties of MCPA6/ABS were investigated by means of wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively.…”

Effects of polyethylene‐grafted maleic anhydride (PE‐g‐MA) on thermal properties, morphology, and tensile properties of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) and corn starch blends

“…The curves of tensile strength and impact strength versus the concentration of the compatibilizer also exhibit the same trends as the emulsification curves. 21,22 In fact, the dispersed phase particle size, tensile strength and impact strength all reflect the interfacial state (e.g., interfacial tension and adhesion). For the LDPE and starch blends, the emulsification curves were not suitable to determine the critical concentration because the starch granular size did not change with composition and with the addition of the compatibilizer.…”

Effects of reactive terpolymer containing maleic anhydride on thermomechanical properties of poly(vinyl chloride) based multicomponent blends

“…7 In many studies, different copolymers of MA have been used as a compatibiliser to obtain the compatible blends. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Binary or ternary blends based on PVC have received tremendous attention in industrial applications owing to the combination of excellent mechanical properties and process ability of these blends. [15][16][17][18] The next logical extension of the binary interaction model is the analysis of binary blends in which one of the polymers is a terpolymer made up of three different repeat unit types.…”
