High impact polystyrene (HIPS) is the widely used material now, and also for the aerospace material as a communication instrument system and an electrical insulation. In order to produce HIPS, there are a view method which can be executed. In this case, the research is executed by the copolymerization processes of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) solution in styrene. Variables which influence to the result properties (HIPS) are the SBR to styrene ratio, the solvent (ethyl benzene), the benzoyl peroxide initiator (BPO). The properties of the product are tensile strength, impact strength, softening point, melting point and the hardness. The result showed that the properties of the HIPS product was near of the HIPS high heat. The optimal processes condition was the solvent to the styrene monomer ratio was 0.05492, the SBR to the styrene ratio was 0.1236 and the BPO to the styrene ratio was 0,0003. The properties of the HIPS product were: the impact strength was (519-1215) N per cm, the tensil strength not more than was 106 N per cm, the elongation was (36-54) percent and the hardness was (65-69) shore A. This properties achieved at the mixing polymerization processes 4 scale in 11-12 hours, the early mixing at 4 scale 1 hours, the cutting chain 2 drops.

PPO was a better intensifier and charred material for High-impact polystyrene (HIPS), it could make HIPS achieve UL94V-0 with APP, MC, RDP. Especially, RDP not only improved the flame-retarded property but also controlled the hole producing, and had the best consistent with matrix which could improve the mechanical properties. SBS and SEBS were better consistent with matrix, especially SEBS was tiny granule, which could be dispersed in matrix easily. The properties of SEBS toughened the non-halogen flame-retarded HIPS was followed: tensile strength: 18.83MPa; izod notch impact strength: 15.7kJ/m2; UL94V-0.

We have studied the impact strength of composites of structural designation containing polypropylene (PP) and 23 wt% nitrile butadiene rubber BNKS-18AMN, obtained by peroxide modification in the presence of polar vinyl monomers: maleic anhydride, its polyester with monoethylene glycol (MEG), and a complex of MEG with aromatic amine antioxidant Diaphene FP (DFP). The composites also contained compatibilisers based on PP or its blends with 10 wt% BNKS-18AMN, modified with analogous peroxide modifying systems. Measurements of impact strength were conducted at temperatures of + 23°C and −30°C; the concentration range of all tested compatibilisers in the composites was 3–20 wt%. The dependence of the impact strength on the content of compatibilisers at both temperatures has a complex extremal nature. It was established that, of all the tested composites, the highest level of impact strength and a relatively slow fall in its values are ensured by a compatibiliser containing complex coagent MEG + DFP. The obtained results may be explained by the increased volume and more homogeneous structure of the transition interphase layer formed under these compounding conditions owing to the specific and effective nature of interaction of the MEG molecules with functional groups of the nitrile butadiene rubber in the interphase region of these composites, promoted by the presence of the secondary aromatic amine complexly bound with the MEG.

ABSTRACT The denture bases made by using polymethyl methacrylates of Acrylic resin family have excellent physical properties, simple to process and easy to reline, rebase and repair. One of the inherent disadvantages of this material is the liability to break during function. The strength assessment of acrylic resins have been made generally by transverse deflection tests. Aim To evaluate the impact strength valves of certain brands of commercially available denture base resins and suggest their suitability. Materials and methods The denture bases we made using polymethyl methacrylates of acrylic resin family because they have excellent physical properties, simple to process and easy to reline and rebase. Six commercial brands of polymethyl methacrylate, namely Stellon (DPI-India), Acralyn-H (Asian Acrylate, India), Trevalon (Dentsply-England), Lucitone 199 (Dentsply/ York division), Acralyn-H (Super Unbreakable), Trevalon HI (Dentsply, Detray division, England) were tested by breaking them using Analog Pendulum (ASTM D 256). Results From the entire study the maximum impact strength was reported for Acralyn-H super unbreakable (Asian Acrylates, India) 62.19 joules. Conclusion All the analysis led to conclusion that there is basic change in material composition within and among the different groups of denture base resins. Clinical implications The complete dentures made using denture base resins with high impact strength valves (e.g. Acralyn-H super unbreakable) will be more durable and can be used by the patient for considerable period of time, i.e. beyond 4 to 5 years.
