Results show that GB has an induced effect on the phase-separation, which embodies that the phase-separation temperature （Ts） of PMMA/SAN blend filled with GB is lower than that of the unfilled system. The higher content of GB, the higher is the ＂secondary plateau＂ of ω in the terminal region of storage modulus （G＇） versus ω plot. The ＂secondary plateau＂ appearing in the terminal region is attributed to the phase-separation of PMMA/SAN blends and it becomes more fiat for filled polymer blends under the same conditions. However, it is suggested that this kind of ＂induced effect＂ is related to the GB content; the higher content of GB particles might enhance the interaction between the particles and polymer matrix. Moreover, it is found that the addition of GB also has an influence more or less on the morphology and domain size of polymer matrix. It is believed that the plot of dynamic viscosity （η＇） versus the loss viscosity （η＂） is sensitive to examine the effect induced by GB on the phase-separation of binary polymer matrix.展开更多

The introduction of CRGO causes the decrease of binodal temperature and the increase of spinodal temperature for PMMA/SAN blends and then enlarges their metastable regime. During annealing, the well-dispersed CRGO in the homogeneous blend matrix tends to be selectively located in the SAN-rich phase with the evolution of phase separation and then the CRGO further agglomerates effectively in the SAN-rich phase to form the conductive pathway. Thermal-induced dynamic percolation is observed for both the resistivity p and dynamic storage modulus G＇ as a function of annealing time. The resistivity variation is ascribed to the agglomeration of CRGO in the SAN-rich phase, while the modulus evolution is attributed to the combined contribution of phase separation for blend matrix and the agglomeration of CRGO in the SAN-rich phase.展开更多

With the evolution of phase separation in PMMA/SAN, most of the clays are first located at the boundaries between PMMA and SAN, and then gradually move to the PMMA-rich domain, owing to the affinity of clay to PMMA. The introduction of clay causes the increase of binodal and spinodal temperatures of PMMA/SAN and enlarges their metastable region, indicating the phase stabilizing effect of clay on the matrix. But the influence of clay on the cloud points obviously depends on the composition of PMMA/SAN. The selective adsorption of PMMA on the clay results in the difference between the composition of surface layer and that of polymer matrix. Hence, the clay plays the role of an agent changing the conditions of phase structure formation.展开更多
