We obtained the PA6/LMWPE blends with different morphologies using multiple melt-kneading methods such as the uniaxial melt-kneading, the eight-axial screw melt-kneading, and the high shearing method. As a result, it was elucidated that the LMWPE was homogeneously and finely dispersed by using the eight-axial melt-kneading method. On the other hand, we found that for high shearing method the LMWPE was finely dispersed to a degree close to the compatible system. The result of the three-point bending test showed that the PA6 was brittle fractured, but it changed to ductile fracture when a small amount of LMWPE was blended. Also, the fracture displacement was extensively improved. The results of the comparison by the melt-kneading methods revealed that the toughness of the PA6 was improved even by adding a small amount of LMWPE (about 2%) when they were blended using the eight-axial screw melt-kneading machine. The cross-sectional observation in the bending test showed that voids were produced from the LMWPE. We elucidated that the production of voids was induced with low stress by adding fragile LMWPE, resulting in the improvement of the bending toughness. Moreover, we found that the LMWPE needs to be finely dispersed with an appropriate particle size in order to exhibit ductile properties.","PeriodicalId":6991,"journal":{"name":"Academic Journal of Polymer Science","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75929225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EMI has appeared as a major problem, which not only affecting the proper working of electronic devices but as well as causing harmful effects to the health of human beings [1,2]. Generally, mobile phone, radar, radio transceivers, microwave oven, and various electronic devices are the main causes of EMI [3,4]. The long time exposure of EM waves have also been recognized as strong cancer-causing agent [5]. Therefore, appropriate shield is required to reduce the effect of EM waves. Generally, electrically conductive or magnetic filler are used as a EMI shielding material, because these materials have capability to interact with coupled electric and magnetic fields of the incident EM waves [6,7]. Metals and metal loaded composites have been widely used as EMI shielding materials, but these materials have disadvantages such as high density, corrosion prone, inconvenient processing etc. which limits their practical applicability. As compare to the metals, carbon nanomaterials have appeared as promising alternative conductive filler for production of EMI shield [6,8,9]. Nowadays, the use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), having ultra-high modulus and strength, good thermal and electrical properties, as filler in polymer nanocomposites prepare material with lower filler loadings having improved electrical and EMI shielding properties [10-15]. As reported in literature, mechanical strength, electrical conductivity or thermal properties and EMI shielding effectiveness of the polymer nanocomposites are affected by different factors such as the aspect ratio, dispersion, processing methods, treatment methods, and loading of CNTs [16]. Li et al. [15] studied the conductivity and EMI SE of epoxy/ SWCNT nanocomposites filled with SWCNTs having different aspect ratios. The maximum EMI shielding effectiveness has been reported for epoxy/SWCNT composites having 15wt% SWCNTslong (SE ∼49dB and 15-20dB obtained at 10MHz and in the 500MHz to 1.5GHz range respectively). In another study, Gupta et al. [17] reported EMI shielding properties (in Ku-band) of poly (trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT)/MWCNT nanocomposites. Electrical percolation of composites has been reported at 1wt% loading of MWCNT and SE of 36-42dB reported at 10wt% loading of MWCNT. Bai et al.

Blend between bioplastics and biopolymers (for example; cellulose, zein and starch) to produce bioplastic/biopolymer blends have attracted the researchers’ interest. Besides, the produced bioplastic/biopolymer blends may also be able to be used in fabrication of biocompatible and biodegradable products.
