PP/EPDM Blends Compatibilized by Organically Modified Clays
Abstract:
In this study, the influence of type and amount of organoclay in the morphology of the polymer blend PP/EPDM is evaluated. Pure and filled mixtures were prepared by melt intercalation in an internal mixer. The morphology of the hybrids was evaluated by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the incorporation of the organophyllic clay to the PP/EPDM blend resulted in new interfacial interactions between components, which contributed to a decrease in the size of the dispersed phase and the compatibility of the blends. Therefore, organoclays may be employed to compatibilize polymeric blends, replacing conventional compatibilizers.
