Abstract

A series of composites of PPO/PA 6 with improved toughness were synthesized by using Ρ‐caprolactam as a reactive solvent. Inserting minor PPO macromolecules (1–3 wt %) into PA 6 matrix obviously reduced the crystallinity of PA6. Two crystallization temperatures were found when 6 wt % PPO was added. SEM revealed that the phase morphology of the composites could be manipulated by varying the content of PPO in PA 6. As a consequence, the impact strength and the elongation of PPO/PA6 were improved with maintenance of tensile strength when quite small content of PPO (1–3 wt %) was incorporated.

Cure behavior, miscibility, and phase separation have been studied in blends of polyphenylene oxide (PPO) with diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) resin and cyanate ester hardener. An autocatalytic mechanism was observed for the epoxy/PPO blends and the neat epoxy. It was also found that the epo

This article addresses the effect of thermal aging on unreinforced and glassreinforced recycled polyamide 66. As an accelerated test, injection-molded test bars were aged at 110, 140, and 170ЊC for up to 4000 h in air to simulate service life. FTIR spectroscopy demonstrated that the oxidative degrad
