Abstract
ABSTRACT Polyamide-6 (PA6), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and its blends with compatibiliser (styrene acrylic acid: SAA, multiwall carbon nanotubes: MWNT, and a combination of MWNT and SAA, respectively) have been investigated. It was found that compatibiliser SAA, MWNT, and the combination of MWNT and SAA help refine the morphology. It includes the decrease in the diameter of the droplets, decreases in interparticle ligament thickness (IPDC), and increase in interfacial area per unit volume (Ai) of the dispersed phase (ABS) in the PA6 matrix. In addition, the morphology crystallinity and thermal stability correlations reveal the behaviour of the blend. Crystallinity and thermal stability of combinations will be maximum when the droplet diameter and critical inter-particle distance must be minimum and interfacial area per unit volume must be foremost.
期刊介绍:
Plastics, Rubber and Composites: Macromolecular Engineering provides an international forum for the publication of original, peer-reviewed research on the macromolecular engineering of polymeric and related materials and polymer matrix composites. Modern polymer processing is increasingly focused on macromolecular engineering: the manipulation of structure at the molecular scale to control properties and fitness for purpose of the final component. Intimately linked to this are the objectives of predicting properties in the context of an optimised design and of establishing robust processing routes and process control systems allowing the desired properties to be achieved reliably.
