Evaluation of Interfacial Grafting Between Matrix and Gel Inclusions in High Impact Polystyrene

P.S. Theocaris, V. Kefalas, G. Spathis

Abstract

The interfacial grafting between the glassy polystyrene matrix and the rubber-like par ticle phase (gel phase) of High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) is known to be important to the fracture toughness of the material [1]. A simple quantitative model is developed to determine interfacial grafting from the observed shifts between the glass transition temperature of pure matrix polystyrene and three commercial types of HIPS.
