✦ Synopsis


Chemical conversion and morphological evolution of PA-6/EPM/EPM-g-MA blends along a twin screw extruder were monitored by quickly collecting small samples from the melt at specific barrel locations. The results show that the MA content of all blends decreases drastically in the first zone of the extruder, i.e., upon melting of the blend components. Significant changes in morphology are also observed at this stage. A correlation between chemistry and morphology could thus be established.

A new sampling device is used to perform near-real-time investigations of physical and chemical processes occurring inside a laboratory twin-screw extruder. Polyamide-6 -ethylene propylene rubber (PA-6 -EPM) blending and styrene-maleic anhydride (SMA) imidation experiments are reported in terms of m
