✦ Synopsis


The compatibilization of mixtures of polyolefins or of polyolefins with polystyrene using either liquid polybutadiene (l-PB)/organic peroxide or styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block copolymers was investigated. Tensile impact strength was chosen as a measure of compatibility. Binary blends LDPE/highimpact polystyrene (HIPS) and LDPE/poly(propylene) (PP) as well as LDPE/HDPE/PP/HIPS blends were prepared by blending in the chamber of a Brabender Plasticorder. Composition of the blends corresponds to real commingled plastic waste. It was found that l-PB-based compatibilizer enhanced the impact strength of LDPE/HIPS blends with LDPE contents higher than 60 wt.-% only. Also SBS copolymer enhanced the impact strength of LDPE/PP blends with LDPE contents higher than 40 wt.-%. Both the compatibilizers substantially increased the toughness of LDPE/HDPE/PP/HIPS blends with composition similar to the municipal plastic waste. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Die Kompatibilisierung von Mischungen von Polyolefinen oder Polyolefinen mit Polystyrol unter Verwendung von entweder flu ¨ssigem Polybutadien (l-PB) und organischem Peroxid oder Styrol-Butadien-Styrol-Blockcopolymeren (SBS) wurde unterucht. Die Schlagzugza ¨higkeit wurde als Maß fu ¨r die Vertra ¨glichkeit herangezogen. In einem Brabender-Plasticorder wurden bina ¨re Blends aus LDPE und schlagza ¨hem Polystyrol (HIPS) sowie LDPE und Polypropylen und LDPE/HDPE/PP/HIPS-Blends hergestellt; die Zusammensetzung der Blends entsprach derjenigen von Kunststoff aus Hausmu ¨ll. Vertra ¨glichkeitsvermittler auf der Basis von l-PB steigerten die Schlagza ¨higkeit der LDPE/HIPS-Blends mit LDPE-Anteilen u ¨ber 60 Gew.-%. SBS erho ¨hte die Schlagza ¨higkeit der LDPE/PP-Blends mit LDPE-Anteilen u ¨ber 40 Gew.-%. Beide Vertra ¨glichkeitsvermittler verbesserten wesentlich die Za ¨higkeit der LDPE/HDPE/PP/HIPS-Blends mit einer der von Hausmu ¨ll entsprechenden Zusammensetzung.
