Dynamical cure of the epoxy resin was successfully applied in the PP/maleic anhydride-grafted styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS) triblock copolymer, and the obtained blends named as dynamically cured PP/MAH-g-SEBS/epoxy blends. The stiffness and toughness of the blends are in a good balance, and MAH-g-SEBS was acted as not only an impact modifier but also a compatibilizer. The structure of the dynamically cured PP/MAH-g-SEBS/epoxy blends is the embedding of the epoxy particles by the MAH-g- SEBS.C2009 Xue Liang Jiang.

Wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the structures. Effects of MMT content on the mechanical properties were also studied. It is found that PVC molecular chains can intercalate into the gallery of MMT layers during melt blending process, the stiffness and toughness of the composites are improved simultaneously within 0.5~7wt% MMT content, and the transparency and mechanical properties decrease as MMT content further increases.展开更多
