Co-Continuous PPS/PA66 Composites - Part I: Phase Morphology and Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

Poly (phenylene sulfide) (PPS) was blended with polyamide 66 (PA66) in a wide range of compositions by using a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. Scanning electron microscopy and solvent extraction were employed to detect phase morphology of PPS/PA66 composites. The results demonstrated that the phase morphology of PPS/PA66 composites changed from PA66 dispersed phase in PPS matrix to co-continuous phase, and then PPS dispersed phase in PA66 matrix with the increase of PA66 content.
