“…Mingtao et al observed that the compatibility of poly (trimethylene terephthalate)/metallocene polyethylene (PTT/mPE) blends was improved with the addition of a compatibilizer ethylene propylene diene monomer copolymer grafted with maleic anhydride (EPDM‐ g ‐MAH). They explained this with the reduction in radius of the dispersed phase in the system when the compatibilizer (EPDM‐ g ‐MAH) is added into the blend . Similarly Khonadkar et al also reported that, as the organo clay constituents are added into the blend the dispersed phase domain size decreased due to the compatibilization action of clay .…”

Poly (trimethylene terephthalate)/Polypropylene blend (PTT/PP) is prepared using melt mixing method and 1 wt% multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are incorporated to study its effect on the thermal and wetting properties. The droplet morphology reveals the immiscibility of the neat polymers in the blend and there is a reduction in the domain size of the dispersed phase with the addition of MWCNTs due to the compatibilization effect of MWCNTs. With the addition of MWCNTs, there is a slight improvement in the melting temperatures of both PTT and PP while an increase in the crystallization temperature and glass transition temperature (Tg) is observed that may be due to the nucleation effect of MWCNTs. On blending with PP, the thermal stability of PTT matrix is increased and with the addition of MWCNTs there is not much improvement in the thermal stability of the polymer components is observed. With the addition of MWCNTs the contact angle of the blend slightly increased, may be attributed to the hydrophobic nature of MWCNTs.

Studies on the viscoelasticity of poly(trimethylene terephthalate)/poly(ethylene–octene)/organomontmorillonite nanocomposites

The viscoelasticity of poly(trimethylene terephthalate)/maleinized poly(octene‐ethylene) copolymer/organomontmorillonite (OMMT) nanocomposites were investigated at both liquid and glassy states by using the rotational rheometer and dynamic mechanical analysis, respectively. The viscoelasticity results suggest that OMMT has many important influences on the structure, modulus, toughness, and cold‐crystallization of the nanocomposites. The OMMT has a strip‐like sheet morphology in the polymer matrix and when OMMT content increases to 4 wt%, the physical network‐like structure begins to form in the nanocomposites. The pseudoplasticity of the melts is increased by OMMT. In addition, the complex viscosity, storage modulus, and viscous behavior of the melts are increased with increasing OMMT content. The creep resistance of the nanocomposites is improved by OMMT, and it plays an important role on reinforcing the melts. The stress relaxation of the melts suggests that the nanofillers can not only enhance the interfacial interactions of the nanocomposites but also inhibit the recovery of the polymer chain segments. At glassy state, the nanocomposites' storage modulus increases with increasing OMMT content. As glass transition occurs, the loss factor and loss modulus suggest that OMMT toughens the polymer matrix. At rubber‐elastic state, OMMT depresses the cold‐crystallization of the polymer matrix due to its limitation effect on the motion of molecular chains. POLYM.

In this work, ternary polymer blends based on (polyamide 6)/(poly[styrene-co-acrylonitrile])/(poly[styrene-b-{ethylene-co-butylene}-b-styrene]) (SEBS) triblock copolymer and a varying concentration of the reactive (maleic anhydride)-grafted SEBS were prepared by using a meltblending process. The effects of the material parameters (composition of ternary blends and SEBS/[{maleic anhy-dride}-grafted SEBS] concentration ratio) and blending sequence on the morphological and mechanical properties of ternary blends were studied. Taguchi experimental design methodology was employed to design the experiments and select the material and processing parameters for the optimized mechanical properties. Tensile properties (Young's modulus and yield stress) and impact strength were considered as the response variables. It was demonstrated that there is a meaningful relationship between the composition of blends, processing parameters, observed phase structure, and obtained mechanical properties. The mechanical tests showed that the highest impact strength was achieved as the dispersion of the rubbery phase achieved an optimum size of about 1 lm.
