Mechanical and morphological properties of PP/LLPDE/NR blends-effect of polyoctenamer
In this study, impact-modified polypropylene (PP) ternary blends based on PP/natural rubber (NR)/linear low-density polyethylene (LLDFE) with ratios of 72/10/18 and 64/20/16 were produced by a twin-screw extruder with polyoctenamer (TOR) as the compatibilizer. The mechanical properties of the blend...

| description | In this study, impact-modified polypropylene (PP) ternary blends based on PP/natural rubber (NR)/linear low-density polyethylene (LLDFE) with ratios of 72/10/18 and 64/20/16 were produced by a twin-screw extruder with polyoctenamer (TOR) as the compatibilizer. The mechanical properties of the blend were determined on injection-molded specimens in tensile, flexural, and impact testing. The impact strength and elongation at break of the blend increased significantly while the flexural modulus and tensile strength decreased slightly with increasing TOR content. The impact strength improved with the increasing TOR due the increase of interfacial adhesion resulting in finer dispersion of the rubbery minor phase in the PP matrix. The improvement in compatibility with the addition of TOR into PP/NR/LLDPE blends is being supported by both scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). |
