The CSSP modifiers with different core-shell weight ratios(90/10, 85/15, 80/20, 75/25, 70/30, 65/35 and 60/40) were used to modify the toughness of poly(butylene terephthalate)(PBT) by melt blending. It was found that the polymerization had a very high instantaneous conversion( 95.7%) and overall conversion(99.7%). The morphology of the core-shell structure was confirmed by means of transmission electron microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the morphology of the fractured surfaces. Differential scanning calorimeter was used to study the crystallization behaviors of PBT/CSSP blends. The dynamic mechanical analyses of PBT/CSSP blends showed two merged transition peaks of PBT matrix, with the presence of CSSP core-shell structured modifier, that were responsible for the improvement of PBT toughness. The results indicated that the notch impact strength of PBT/CSSP blends with a core-shell weight ratio of 75/25 was almost 8.64 times greater than that of pure PBT, and the mechanical properties agreed well with the SEM observation.展开更多

Charpy impact tests show that the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) of the RAM steel is about -60℃. Low-temperature tensile tests show that the yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and total elongation values increase as temperature decreases, indicating that the strength and plasticity below the DBTT are higher than those above the DBTT. The coercive field (Hc) in the scale of logarithm decreases linearly with the increasing temperature and the absolute value of the slope of InHc versus temperature above the DBTT is obviously larger than that below the DBTT, also confirmed in the T91 steel. The results indicate that the non-destructive magnetic measurement is a promising candidate method for the DBTT detection of ferromagnetic steels.展开更多
