Thermomechanical properties of ABS/PA and ABS/PC blends
Source abstract
Abstract
The significant increase of Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) has led to an important research in upgrading recycled engineering plastics by means of a blending technique. Classical twin-screw extrusion is compared to a new blending technique, where two polymers are combined together and then flow in several static mixers. This technique allows to obtain different morphologies of compatibilized ABS/PA or ABS/PC blends and the aim of this work is to evaluate the corresponding thermomechanical properties. Experimental results demonstrate in particular that fibrilar morphology is obtained with the new blending technique (only with ABS/PA blends), which could lead to a mechanical enhancement if the adhesion between ABS and PA is optimized.
