“…Polymers chemically modified with maleic anhydride (MA) are often used in the compatibilization of polyamidebased materials due to the high probability of in-situ reactions between MA and the amine end-groups of PA [11][12][13] . In our previous work 10 , we demonstrated the utility of methyl methacrylate-co-maleic anhydride (MMA-MA) in the compatibilization of PA6/ABS blends.…”

Effect of Maleic Anhydride Content in Properties of PA6/AES Blends Compatibilized with MMA-MA

The effect of maleic anhydride (MA) content on morphological, thermal, thermomechanical and mechanical properties of PA6/AES/MMA-MA (66.5/28.5/5 wt%) system was investigated. In general, the simple incorporation of MMA-MA to PA6/AES system is responsible for enhancements in mechanical performance. PA6/AES/MMA-MA3% and PA6/AES/MMA5% exhibited similar morphology and final properties, indicating no MA content effect on the studied system. On the other hand, PA6/AES/ MMA-MA10% exhibited a quite different morphology and lower mechanical performance compared to the other compatibilized blends. Such unexpected behavior was not attributed to the effective maleic anhydride content in this composition, but to the reduced molar mass resulted from the excess of nonreacted MA monomer during the synthesis procedure.

“…For blends containing polyamide, reactive compatibilization is regarded to be a better approach to improve compatibility. 1,[23][24][25][26][27] Styrene/glycidyl methacrylate (SG) copolymers have been demonstrated to be effective reactive compatibilizers for PA/aPS 27 and PA/PPO systems. 2 Research showed that aPS was miscible with sPS, [28][29][30][31] and thus this styrene-containing copolymers should be applicable as a reactive compatibilizer for PA6/sPS blends.…”

ABSTRACT:Blends of polyamide-6 (PA6) with syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) were prepared using a series of styrene/glycidyl methacrylate (SG) copolymers as compatibilizers. These copolymers are miscible with sPS, and the epoxide units in SG are capable of reacting with PA6 end groups. These copolymers thus have the potential to form SGg-PA6 graft copolymers at the PA6/sPS interface during melt processing. This study focuses on the effects of functionality and concentration of the compatibilizer on the morphological, mechanical and crystallization behaviors of the blends. In general, SG copolymers are effective in reducing the sPS domain size and improving the interfacial adhesion. About 5 wt% glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) is the optimum content in SG copolymer that produces the best compatibilization. Both the strength and modulus of the blend have been improved on addition of the SG copolymers, accompanying a loss in toughness when higher concentration copolymer is added. Incorporation of SG compatibilizers to PA6/sPS blend has little influence on the crystallization behavior of PA6 component but resulted in a steady reduction in intensity of crystallinity peak of sPS and simultaneous crystallization of sPS with PA6 is observed.

“…The SMA 25 is miscible with the SAN matrix of the ABS, and, of course, can react with the nylon. We have shown that these materials can be made tough at room temperature, but they become brittle just below room temperature (23). We are confident that the cause for this is that SMA 25 has too many functional groups per chain.…”

“…During the course of this project, we abandoned SMA 25 in favor of examination of a unique series of imidized acrylic polymers formed by reacting poly(methyl methacrylate) with methyl amine (13,14,(22)(23)(24)(26)(27)(28). These polymers contain small amounts of anhydride and acid units in addition to the glutarimide structure and residual methyl methacrylate units.…”
