Melt rheology and morphology of PP/SEBS/PC ternary blend

Melt rheological properties of the ternary blend of isotactic polypropylene (PP), styreneethylene–butylene–styrene terpolymer (SEBS), and polycarbonate (PC), PP/SEBS/PC, are studied in a wide range of composition, such that PP is the matrix and SEBS and PC are the minor components, with the proportion of one varying from 0 to 30% at various fixed compositions of the other. The respective binary blends, PP/SEBS and PP/PC, studied as the reference systems for interpretation of results on the ternary blends yielded interesting new information about the morphology development and its correlation with melt rheological properties of these binary blends. The studies include the measurement of melt rheological properties on a capillary rheometer in the shear rate range 10¹–10⁴ s^?1 at a fixed temperature of 240°C. The data presented as conventional flow curves are analyzed for the effect of blend composition and shear rate on pseudoplasticity, melt viscosity, and melt elasticity, and role of each individual component is identified. Morphology of dispersed phases of these blends is studied through scanning electron microscopy of the cryogenically fractured and suitably etched surfaces. Variations of morphology with blend composition and shear rate showed interesting correlation with melt rheological properties, which are discussed in detail. An important finding of the morphological studies is that in the PP/SEBS/PC ternary blend the SEBS phase forms two types of morphologies depending on the blend composition and shear rate: (i) simple droplets and (ii) boundary layer at the surface of the PC droplets. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Study on morphology and viscoelastic properties of PP/PET/SEBS ternary blend and their fibers

The morphology development of polypropylene (PP)/polyethylene terephthalate (PET)/styrene‐ethylene‐butylene‐styrene (SEBS) ternary blends and their fibers were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in conjunction with the melt linear viscoelastic measurements. The morphology of the blends was also predicted by using Harkin's spreading coefficient approach. The samples varying in composition with PP as the major phase and PET and SEBS as the minor phases were considered. Although SEM of the binary blends showed matrix‐dispersed type morphology, the ternary blend samples exhibited a morphological feature in which the dispersed phase formed aggregates consisting of both PET and SEBS particles distributed in the PP matrix. The SEM of the blend samples containing 30 and 40 wt % of total dispersed phase showed an agglomerated structure formed between the aggregates. The SEM of the PP/PET binary fiber blends showed long well‐oriented microfibrils of PET whereas in the ternary blends, the microfibrils were found to have lower aspect ratio with a fraction of the SEBS stuck on the microfibril fracture surfaces. These results were attributed to a core‐shell type morphology in which the PET and SEBS formed the core‐shells distributed in the matrix. The melt viscoelastic behavior of the ternary blends containing less than 30 wt % of the total dispersed phase was found to be similar to the matrix and binary blend samples whereas the samples containing 30 and 40 wt % of dispersed phases exhibited a pronounced viscosity upturn and nonterminal storage modulus in low frequency range. These results were found to be in good agreement with the morphological results. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009

Influence of processing conditions on the mechanical properties of SEBS/PP/oil blends

A common type of thermoplastic elastomer is a blend of styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene copolymer (SEBS) with polypropylene and mineral oil. The knowledge about the processing parameters that influence the blend of these components is important to achieve the best material properties. In this study, were evaluated the influence of screw configuration (low and high shear) and speed (200, 300, and 400 rpm), molding form (compression and injection) and SEBS type (high and low molecular weight). The specimens were characterized according to their morphology, crystallinity, thermomechanical and mechanical properties. Samples processed in a screw with more kneading zones had a lower modulus value. Compression molded specimens had lower mechanical performance than injected samples. Samples prepared with low molecular weight SEBS presented a loss of mechanical properties. It was possible to correlate processing form with all the properties evaluated. The analyzed variables influenced the morphology, crystallinity and thermomechanical properties, but had low influence on the tensile properties.     

Assessment of compatibilization efficiency of SEBS in the PP/PS blend

The compatibilization efficiency of styrene–ethylene/butylene–styrene (SEBS) triblock copolymer in immiscible polypropylene (PP)/polystyrene (PS) 20/80 blends was evaluated in terms of not only morphology, but also rheology and fractionated crystallization behavior. Besides varying SEBS loading, four different mixing protocols were used to vary SEBS dispersion state. PP²/PS/SEBS blend, prepared by two‐step method mixing PS and SEBS primarily, presents the largest droplet size (1.278 μm) at the critical compatibilizer concentration (CCC = 1 wt %). However, the CCC of blends prepared by the other protocols is 2 wt %. And at the CCC, PP/PS²/SEBS (two step method mixing PP and SEBS primarily) shows the smallest droplet size (0.908 μm), followed by PP/PS/SEBS (one step method). The rheology and crystallization behavior of PP/PS blends could also be utilized to assess the compatibilization efficiency of SEBS, but only in the case of mixing under the same protocol and the content of SEBS below a CCC. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of SEBS on morphology, thermal, and mechanical properties of PP/organoclay nanocomposites

A simultaneously increase in stiffness and toughness is needed for improving polypropylene (PP) competitiveness in automotive industry. The aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of styrene-(ethylene-co-butylene)-styrene triblock copolymer (SEBS) on mechanical and thermal properties of PP, in the presence and the absence of nanoclay. The amount of SEBS in PP was ranged to obtain the matrix with the most favorable stiffness–toughness balance. For this purpose, SEBS domain size and distribution in PP/SEBS blends was determined by means of atomic force microscopy and correlated with mechanical properties. The influence of SEBS on the crystalline structure of PP in PP/organoclay nanocomposites was investigated by X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry, a synergistic effect of SEBS and nanoclay being pointed out. Moreover large improvement in the impact strength (almost 22 times) was obtained in the case of SEBS-containing nanocomposite in comparison with the composite without SEBS.

Structural,rheological, and mechanical properties of PA6/SAN/SEBS ternary blend/organoclay nanocomposites

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of nanoclay addition on the morphological and mechanical properties of PA6/SAN/SEBS ternary blend. Two different nanoclays with different modifiers and two different mixing sequences were used to investigate the role of thermodynamic and kinetic, respectively, in the nanoclays localization. XRD, SEM, TEM, melt rheology, tensile and Izod impact tests were used to characterize the nanocomposites. Results of characterization of nanocomposites showed that clay localization is a very influential parameter to determine the type of morphology and, consequently, mechanical properties of ternary/clay nanocomposites. It was demonstrated that presence of nanoclay in the matrix results in the increase of stiffness, while localization of nanoclay at the interface improves the toughness and tensile strength. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Melt-rheological properties of PP/EVA blend

This paper describes a study of melt-rheological properties of the binary blend of isotactic polypropylene (PP) and ethylene–vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) at varying blending ratios (from 0 to 40 wt % EVA content) and using three samples of EVA containing different vinyl acetate contents (VA %), viz. 9, 12, and 19%. Measurements made on a capillary rheometer at three different temperatures (210, 220, and 230°C) in a shear stress range of 10⁴–10⁶ Pa (shear rate 10¹–10⁴ s^?1) are presented and discussed for the effects of blend composition and shear stress on the flow curves, melt viscosity and melt elasticity. Morphology of the blend studied through scanning electron microscopy revealed distinct differences in size and number density of dispersed EVA droplets, which are discussed in terms of the variation of average size and number density of the dispersed EVA droplets as a function of blend composition and shear stress. Melt-rheological properties and morphology of dispersion are correlated and found quite consistent.     

Crystallization of PP in PP/SEBS blends and its correlation with tensile properties

Crystallization of polypropylene (PP) in the blends of PP with styrene–ethylene butylene–styrene triblock copolymer (SEBS) is studied through differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray diffraction measurements. Analysis of crystallization exotherm peaks in terms of crystallization nucleation and growth rates, crystallite size distribution, and crystallinity revealed differences in the morphology of PP component in the blend in the different regions of blend composition. Crystallinity determined by X-ray diffraction and DTA showed identical variations with blend composition. Variations in tensile properties of these blends with blend composition are also reported. Correlations of the various tensile properties with the crystallization parameters, viz., the crystallinity and crystallite size distribution, are presented, which confirm the influence of crystallization of PP component on the tensile properties of these blends.     

Mechanical and rheological properties of PP/SEBS/OMMT ternary composites

The microstructure and mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP)/OMMT binary nanocomposites and PP/styrene‐6‐(ethylene‐co‐butylenes)‐6‐styrene triblock copolymer (SEBS)/OMMT ternary nanocomposites were investigated using X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and rheology and electromechanical testing machine. The results show that the organoclay layers are mainly intercalated and partially exfoliated in the PP‐based nanocomposites. The additions of SEBS and OMMT have no significant effect on the crystallization behavior of PP. At the same time, it can be concluded that the polymer chains of PP and SEBS have intercalated into the organoclay layers and increase the gallery distance after blending process based on the analytical results from TEM, XRD, and rheology, which result in the form of a percolated nanostructure in the PP‐based nanocomposites. The results of mechanical properties show that SEBS filler greatly improve the notched impact strength of PP, but with the sacrifice of strength and stiffness. OMMT can improve the strength and stiffness of PP and slightly enhance the notched impact strength of PP/PP‐g‐MA. In comparison with neat PP, PP/OMMT, and PP/SEBS binary composites, notched impact toughness of the PP/SEBS/OMMT ternary composites significantly increase. Moreover, the stiffness and strength of PP/SEBS/OMMT ternary nanocomposites are slightly enhanced when compared with neat PP. It is believed that the synergistic effect of both SEBS elastomer and OMMT nanoparticles account for the balanced mechanical performance of the ternary nanocomposites. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

High performance PP/SEBS/CNF composites: Evaluation of mechanical,thermal degradation,and crystallization properties

Nanocomposites comprising carbon nanofibers (CNF) were prepared and evaluated in terms of morphology, mechanical performance, thermal stability and crystallization properties. It was found that addition of CNF reinforced polypropylene (PP) matrix by marginally increasing the strength and modulus, but at the expense of toughness and ductility. To improve the toughness of the composites, polystyrene‐block‐poly(ethylene‐ran‐butylene)‐block‐polystyrene (SEBS) was used. Presence of SEBS remarkably improved the toughness and ductility of the composites. The optimum level of reinforcement was observed at 0.1 wt% of CNF in the composites. Phase morphology studies revealed that at this concentration, CNF were well dispersed in polymer phases and beyond it, agglomeration occurred. PP/SEBS/CNF (0.1 wt%) nanocomposites exhibited good strength, excellent toughness and decent modulus, which make them suitable for cost effective, light‐weight, tough and stiff material for engineering applications. It was observed that thermal stability of composites is only marginally improved whereas crystallinity of PP drastically reduced by the addition of CNF. POLYM.

Influence of PP content on mechanical properties,water absorption,and morphology in PA6/PP blend

PA6/polypropylene (PP) blends are investigated for obtaining balanced strength and toughness. The focus of this study is to understand the effect of PP content on mechanical property, water absorption, impact strength, thermal behavior, and morphology of PP in the absence and presence of PP-g-maleic anhydride compatibilizer. In comparison to pure PA6, all blends have higher impact strength with 161 and 124% increase at 5 wt % PP content in uncompatibilized and compatibilized blends (UB and CB), respectively. Morphology of impact fractured samples shows brittle fracture in the case of CB. scanning electron microscope of cryogenically fractured samples show decrease in domain size and change in shape from ellipsoid to spherical, from UB to CB. Then, 75% reduction in water absorption is observed for 50 wt % PP content UB. Postwater absorption yield strength (YS) remains constant above 10 wt % PP in both UB and CB and decrease in YS is less at higher PP content in CB. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Dynamic mechanical and impact properties of polypropylene/EPDM blends

It was established by instrumented impact testing on notched Charpy specimens (DIN 53453 standard, No. 2 bar) that PP homopolymers impact modified by EPDM sorts of different melt viscosities at a rate lower than 10% were subject to brittle fracture in a wide temperature range. The most efficient of the EPDM impact modifiers had melt viscosities similar to that of the starting PP under the conditions of mixing. The course of maximum load at rupture (F_max) and notched impact strength as functions of temperature showed some analogies with one another as well as with the dynamic mechanical storage (E′) and with the mechanical loss factor (tan δ). Thus, linear regression analysis was applied to the following relations: F_max vs. (E′; tan δ; impact strength), F²_max vs. (tan δ, impact strength) and impact strength vs. tan δ. The optimum correlation coefficients were obtained for F_max vs. E′ and impact strength vs. tan δ. The supposed linearity of the former relation suggested that notched small Charpy specimens behaved as linear elastic bodies at high-rate three-point bending while the latter function referred to the significant role of relaxation of the EPDM impact modifier in the dissipation of impact energy during brittle or semi-brittle fracture of the two-phase PP/EPDM blends. The above relations are rendered probable by the fact that frequency of impact load is 10² to 10³ Hz while that of the dynamic mechanical measurements is about 10¹ Hz.

Dynamic mechanical properties of nanoclay filled TPU/PP blends with compatibiliser

Abstract

Blends of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and polypropylene (PP) are highly incompatible because of large differences in polarities and high interfacial tensions. On one hand, PP is added to TPU to improve TPU's thermal stability, chemical properties, mechanical properties (modulus, strength and hardness) and processing performance and to reduce TPU's cost. On the other hand, TPU is blended with PP to improve PP's properties (e.g. abrasion, flexibility, tear strength, shock absorbing capabilities, impact strength, adhesion and paintability/printability). Earlier works in polyurethane/organoclay nanocomposites, PP/organoclay nanocomposites and TPU/PP blends were studied. In our experimental work, both ester and ether based TPU nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending using 3?wt-% Cloisite 10A (organically modified montmorillonite clay) as the nanoscale reinforcement and blended with PP with/without PP-graft-maleic anhydride as the compatibiliser. Blends of nanoclay filled TPU/PP were evaluated for dynamic mechanical properties such as storage modulus E′, loss modulus E″ and dissipation factor tanδ.
