Mechanical properties of blends of maleated ethylene–propylene rubber and nylon 6

Mechanical characterization of toughened polyamide‐6 blends with metallocene copolymers

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] The processing conditions and proportions of grafting agent (MA) and peroxides employed in the functionalization reactions of mPE1 and mEPDM materials were chosen to get the maximum grafting degree with the minimum secondary reactions. [15][16][17][18][19] ATR-FTIR spectra were obtained for the functionalized products to determine their grafting degrees.…”

“…Rubber-modified polyamides have been extensively studied to obtain new materials with high-notched Izod impact properties at room and low temperatures. [2][3][4][5][6][7] Metallocene polyethylenes have been more studied as tougheners than the metallocene copolymers. [4][5][6] Also, there are several studies that have documented the effect of parameters such as rubber particle sizes, volume fraction and interparticle distance, rubber particles distribution, Young's modulus, Poisson ratio, and stress strength of the rubber on the effectiveness of toughening in PA6/rubber blends.…”

“…[8][9][10][11] On the other hand, the main shortcoming of the rubber-toughened blends is the significant reduction of Young's modulus, which is caused mainly by the addition of a rubber with a low Young's modulus, such as EPDM-g-MA and mEPR-g-MA. [4][5][6][7] It is well known that the mechanical properties of polymer blends are strongly influenced by their morphology. In immiscible polymer blends, the morphology achieved depends, in general, on the blend composition, interfacial tension between the components, viscosity ratio, melt elasticity of the components, and processing history.…”

Impact modification of polyamide-12 through blending with liquid polybutadiene, 3 a Properties of compatibilized blends of PA12 and liquid polybutadiene

“…Such materials can be either binary blends [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] or compatibilized blends [54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65]. The preparation of binary blends was discussed in a former paper [66].…”

“…The latter often consists of an elastomer (EPDM, EPR, …) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]35,[47][48][49][50][51][54][55][56], or of a polyolefin [3,7,[29][30][31][32][33][34][41][42][43]46,[57][58][59][62][63][64][65]. The impact modifier itself may be a multiphase material …”
