Study on the Mechanical Properties and Surface Gloss of Acrylonitrile Butadiene-Styrene/Poly(Methyl Methacrylate)/Ethylene Methacrylate Copolymer (EMA) Composites

Abstract:

Ethylene methacrylate (EMA) copolymer toughened acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS)/polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) were prepared in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. The effect of EMA on mechanical properties and surface gloss of ABS/PMMA blends was investigated. Experiment results show that the toughness of ABS/PMMA is improved effectively with the incorporation of EMA, while the tensile strength and glossiness decrease slightly. ABS/PMMA/EMA blends present optimum mechanical and luster properties when the content of EMA is 6wt%.
