Study on the Mechanical Properties of ABS Enhanced by Magnesium Hydroxide Whiskers

Abstract:

magnesium hydroxide whiskers; ABS; mechanical properties Abstract: The magnesium hydroxide (MH) whiskers/ABS composites were prepared by melt-extrusion with whiskers as fillers. Zinc stearate was used as modifier to improve the compatibility of the composites. The mechanical properties of ABS enhanced by different cotents of magnesium hydroxide whiskers were tested by the RGT-10 universal testing machine. When the content of whiskers was 10%, The comprehensive mechanical properties of the composites were the best, the max load was 0.30KN, the elastic modulus was 0.16Gpa, the tensile strength was 20.11Mpa, the total elongation was 10.24%, the fracture strength was 2.05Mpa. The fracture morphology of the composites was analyzed by SEM, the higher contents of magnesium hydroxide whisker, the worse-distributed whisker in ABS matrix.
