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

Abstract
A series of composites of PPO/PA 6 with improved toughness were synthesized by using Ξ΅βcaprolactam as a reactive solvent. Inserting minor PPO macromolecules (1β3 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 (1β3 wt %) was incorporated.

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 170ΠC for up to 4000 h in air to simulate service life. FTIR spectroscopy demonstrated that the oxidative degrad
