Abstract
Poly(butylene terephthalate) is a rigid polymer with poor elasticity and impact resistance. In this research, thermoplastic polyurethane is mixed with poly(butylene terephthalate) through injection molding to improve the impact strength and elasticity of the blend. The findings revealed that the blend had higher impact toughness but lower tensile and flexural strengths when compared to neat poly(butylene terephthalate).
期刊介绍:
Polymer Science, Series A is a journal published in collaboration with the Russian Academy of Sciences. Series A includes experimental and theoretical papers and reviews devoted to physicochemical studies of the structure and properties of polymers (6 issues a year). All journal series present original papers and reviews covering all fundamental aspects of macromolecular science. Contributions should be of marked novelty and interest for a broad readership. Articles may be written in English or Russian regardless of country and nationality of authors. All manuscripts are peer reviewed. Online submission via Internet to the Series A, B, and C is available at http://polymsci.ru.
