Compatibilized Blends

AbstractModification of the interface changes the viscoelastic response of crystalline polymer blends. For incompatible systems, usually one or more additional tan δ (mechanical loss) peaks appear which reflect the embrittlement of the material. Upon proper compatibilization, the additional peaks disappear and the material becomes tougher. The associated phenomena are explained and illustrated by a number of examples including polypropylene filled with calcium carbonate, polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene compatibilized blends, compatibilized blends of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) with polyethylene as well as polyamide 6/polypropylene- graft-acrylic acid blends. Modes of deformation producing cavitation and cavity free deformation were applied to polymer blends in order to study the influence of molecular orientation and the presence of cavities. It is concluded that interfaces between blend components are weak elements of the blends even in the presence of a compatibilizer. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMTA) evidenced the occurrence of interactions of the compatibilizer with blend components through temperature shift and intensity change of α, β and γ relaxation processes of polymer components. In oriented films of PET/high-density PE compatibilized blends, the chain segments in the amorphous phase of PET are oriented along machine direction. However, there is a significant anisotropy of chain packing in the plane perpendicular to the drawing direction - the pseudohexagonal packing of chain fragments being in register over the whole film. The PET amorphous phase exhibits anisotropy: DMTA studies show that the glass transition occurs at different temperatures while bending the film in different directions. The source of the ‘anisotropy’ in glass transition is the anisotropy of the amorphous phase: the pseudohexagonal packing and the orientation of chain segments. It is evident that the free volume and frozen fraction of the amorphous phase exhibit some degree of anisotropy. In highly compressed samples free of cavities, the glass transition temperature is shifted to higher temperature as compared to undeformed or drawn and cavitated blends. The shift is the result of high molecular orientation of the amorphous phase of matrix polymer and of the stabilization effect of unbroken interfaces in compressed samples.
