Compatible blends of polypropylene with an amorphous polyamide

Compatible blends of polypropylene with an amorphous polyamide Compatible polymer blends of polypropylene (PP) with an amorphous polyamide (aPA) were obtained through reactive compatibilization by adding 20% maleic anhydride‐modified copolymer (PP‐g‐MA) to the blends. The blends were made up of a pure PP phase and an aPA‐rich phase where very small amounts of PP were detected. The dispersed phase particle size decreased considerably indicating that compatibilization occurred. Young's modulus of the compatibilized blends increased with respect to that of the uncompatibilized ones. The compatibilized blends were highly ductile, and the impact strength also improved, proving that compatibilization occurred under a broad range of experimental conditions. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract

Compatible polymer blends of polypropylene (PP) with an amorphous polyamide (aPA) were obtained through reactive compatibilization by adding 20% maleic anhydride‐modified copolymer (PP‐g‐MA) to the blends. The blends were made up of a pure PP phase and an aPA‐rich phase where very small amounts of PP were detected. The dispersed phase particle size decreased considerably indicating that compatibilization occurred. Young's modulus of the compatibilized blends increased with respect to that of the uncompatibilized ones. The compatibilized blends were highly ductile, and the impact strength also improved, proving that compatibilization occurred under a broad range of experimental conditions. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
