A silane coupling agent (SCA) was used as a compatibilizer for polypropylene-poly(ethylene teraphthalate) (PP-PET) blends with 20, 40, 50, and 60% PET compositions by weight. PP-PET mixtures were blended with and without an SCA by a single-screw extruder. The effect of silane modification on the tensile and impact properties of the blends was investigated. The morphology and thermal behavior of the blends were examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), respectively. The presence of the SCA used in this work extensively improved the mechanical properties of the blends. Mechanical properties were found to be highly de-pendent on the numbers Of extrusions. SEM studies showed that substantially different morphology with better adhesion existed when SCA-treated blends were compared to non-treated PP-PET blends. The presence of individual melting temperatures of the polymers in all compositions with no significant T,, depression indicated that PET and PP were crystallized separately.

Melt viscoelasticity of polyethylene terephthalate resins for low density extrusion foaming Xanthos, M; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Dey, SK; Quintans, J (2000-03-01) The rheological properties of conventional polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins are not particularly suitable for low density extrusion foaming with physical blowing agents; as a result, chemically modified resins through chain extension/branching reactions are often used. Such resins have overall higher melt viscosity and higher melt strength/melt "elasticity" than unmodified materials. In this work, following a review of the prior art on PET chemical modification, an unmodified and a chemically modifie...
Reactive processing of styrene-maleic anhydride and epoxy functionalized polymer blends Bayram, G; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Xanthos, M (1999-05-06) The reaction of styrene-maleic anhydride (SMA) with polyethylene/methyl acrylate/glycidyl methacrylate (E-MA-GMA) was studied in a batch mixer and in a corotating twin screw extruder. Also, the mixing of a nonreactive blend of SMA with polyethylene/methyl acrylate (E-MA), with similar rheological properties to E-MAG-MA, was studied under the same processing conditions. The mixing products of reactive and nonreactive systems exhibited drastically different properties. Reactive blends showed higher tensile mo...
Anhydride/epoxy functionalized blends: Mechanical, rheological and thermal properties Bayram, G; Yılmazer, Ülkü (2001-11-30) Blends of styrene-maleic anhydride (SMAH) and polyethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate (E-MA-GMA) were produced in a batch mixer and in a corotating twin screw extruder. E-MA-GMA concentration was varied from 0% to 50%. Batch mixing indicated that the blend system was reactive. Extruded blends were characterized in terms of rheological, thermal and mechanical properties, and their morphology was observed. Rheological properties such as the storage modulus, loss modulus and complex viscosity exhibi...
MELT BLENDING OF ULTRA-HIGH-MOLECULAR-WEIGHT AND HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE - THE EFFECT OF MIXING RATE ON THERMAL, MECHANICAL, AND MORPHOLOGICAL PROPERTIES TINCER, T; COSKUN, M (1993-10-01) The blends of two different ultra high molecular weight polyethylenes (UHMWPE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) were prepared in melt at different compositions and mixing rates in Brabender Torque Rheometer. The temperature build-up due to the internal friction during melt blending was recorded and evaluated with respect to the change in the torque. The temperature at maximum torque was considered the fusion point temperature of the UHMWPE in the blend. This fusion point temperature was found to depend ...
Mechanical properties and surface energies of low density polyethylene poly(vinyl chloride) blends Akovali, G; Torun, TT; Bayramlı, Erdal; Erinc, HK (1998-03-01) A series of blends of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) are prepared and examined. Plasma treatment is applied to one of the components (LDPE) in order to affect the degree of compatibility. For this purpose, different monomers, such as carbon tetrachloride and vinyl chloride, are used. Tensile test results for all the blend samples, with and without plasma-treated LDPE, are compared. The surface energy results of blends prepared from untreated and treated LDPE-PVC showed consid...
