Butadiene Styrene

The blends of Nylon 6/Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) with styrene-maleic anhydride (SMA) was prepared by melt blending as the compatilizer. Mechanical properties, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and fracture appearances were determined. It was found that the impact and tensile strength firstly increased and then decreased along with the increase of the SMA content. The properties reached maximum values when the content of SMA was 1.5%. The results of DMA and scanning electron microscope (SEM) indicated that the addition of SMA can effectively enhance the compatibility of Nylon 6 and ABS.

Marine debris was collected monthly from substations along Panvel creek from May 2020 to April 2021 and was analyzed for types of non-plastic debris and plastic debris. Plastic debris was assessed for % composition of a type of plastic, plastic polymer and further categorized according to plastic code, acronym, full name and common examples. Non-plastic debris of 8 types representing 38 items were recorded. Consumer and manufactured items like glass and plastic bottles, cans, bags, rubber, metal, fiberglass, cigarettes, fishing gears etc. were observed. 8 types of polymers representing 65 items were recorded along Panvel creek. Plastic polymers like Polyethylene terephthalate (PETE/PET), High density polyethylene (HDPE), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Low density polyethylene (LDPE), Polypropylene (PE), Polystyrene (PS), Polyamide/Nylon, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Polyurethane (PU) were recorded. 13 items belongs to Plastic code 2:HDPE, 12 to 3:PVC, 11 to 5:PP, 9 to 6:PS, 8 to 4:LDPE, 6 to 1:PETE/PET and 3 each to 7:PA and Other and 8:PU, respectively, were documented. Maximum % composition (20.00%) of HDPE, and minimum (4.61%) of PA and Other and PU, respectively was recorded. Higher content of debris recorded is attributed to the disposal of domestic wastes intentionally or unintentionally into the creek and also for disposal of scrap materials from the fishing crafts. Higher HDPE content is attributed to the wastes released from the fishing vessels and also to the domestic and municipal wastes. At present the Panvel creek is moderately polluted and 3R i.e. reduce, reuse and recycling is the current solution to the overuse of plastics.
