Segregated structures in carbon black-containing immiscible polymer blends: HIPS/LLDPE systems

Abstract: ABSTRACT:The structure/electrical resistivity relationship in CB-loaded immiscible HIPS/LLDPE blends was studied. Effects of CB content and location, dispersed polymer phase size and shape, dispersed phase viscosity, and processing procedures were examined. The elongated dispersed phase in CB-containing blends is essential for promoting conductivity in formulations prepared by melt mixing and compression molding. However, the same formulations proved highly resistive when injection-molded, due to orientation a… Show more

“…Such factors promote matrix-filler interactions rather than filler-filler interactions. The later parameter facilitates geometrical contact between the filler [14]. Next to the thermodynamic factor, the melt-viscosity ratio also decides the localization of the filler in a particular phase in the blends.…”

“…These modifications of the conducting fillers can improve their dispersion in polymer matrices and lead to better response behaviors. Narkis and coworkers employed immiscible polyblends as the matrices of conducting composites for manufacturing solvent sensors, like high impact polystyrene (HIPS)/linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) [11] and high impact polystyrene (HIPS)/ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) [12]. Their results indicated that the systems are rather sensitive to temperature, swelling and pressure due to the effect of double-percolation as compared with the composites using single polymers as matrices.…”

“…This phenomenon is usually called the ''percolation phenomenon.'' The percolation threshold of PA6-based composites is usually higher than 20 wt% [12][13][14][15] . However, high loading of rigid particles will badly decrease the toughness of the PA6 and, as a result, debasing the value of using this kind of engineering material.…”
