Rheological Study of Polyamide 6/Waste Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) Blends

Article Preview

Abstract:

The application of polyamides is limited by low impact performance when notched in room temperature conditions. This situation is worsening, especially for use in temperatures below zero degrees Celsius. One way to outline this limitation is to prepare polymer blends where the dispersed phase is an elastomer, and then classified as an immiscible blend. Therefore, this study aims to develop polyamide 6/waste styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) blends, with addition of compatibilizer PP-g-MA and PE-g-MA in order to achieve a balance between stiffness and tenacity. The results obtained with the rheological study showed that mixtures of PA6/PE-g-MA presented the best results in comparison with mixtures of PA6/PP-g-MA, indicating that there was probably a reaction between the components, which may allow a better dispersion and thus can achieve better properties.
