Subinclusion Morphology in Compatibilised Polymer Blends

  • Chapter
Book cover Integration of Fundamental Polymer Science and Technology—3

Abstract

The effect of polymer blend morphology on the stiffness and toughness of blends of ethylene-co-propylene rubber (EPR) in polyamides (PA) has been the subject of a number of recent papers and patents (1–7) In these toughened blends, the rubber exists as a separate phase of discrete particles. It has been shown that both the rubber particles size and total volume fraction have an effect on toughness and, especially, the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature (DBTT).
