Blending Effect of Maleic Anhydride-Styrene-Methyl Methacrylate Terpolymer on Polyvinylchloride (Pvc)/Polystyrene (Ps) Mixtures
Abstract
The blending effect of poly maleic anhydride-styrene-methyl methacrylate (MA-St-MMA) terpolymer on non-miscible PVC and Polystyrene was studied depending on their thermomechanical properties. Depending on the amount of the synthesized and used compatibilizer the tensile strength, modulus, and thermomechanical properties of the blends are enhanced. The unmodified and blends with small amounts of compatibilizer exhibit two-step degradation whereas those containing 6, 8 and 10 percent compatibilizer showed a single glass transition (Tg). All the results reveal that PS/PVC mixtures modified with MA-St-MMA have superior mechanical properties and phase adhesions than mixtures without terpolymer.
