โฆ Synopsis
The mechanical properties of extruder compounded blends of ABS and polycarbonate in the form of extruded-sheet and injection-molded bars are reported and compared with commercial products based on these components. The modulus and tensile yield strength exhibit a nearly additive response to blend composition while percent elongation at break shows a minimum vs. composition. Notched Izod impact strength is nearly constant at the level of pure ABS up to 50% polycarbonate and increases rapidly upon further addition of polycarbonate.

This work deals with the effect of compatibilizer on the morphological, thermal, rheological, and mechanical properties of polypropylene/polycarbonate (PP/ PC) blends. The blends, containing between 0 to 30 vol % of polycarbonate and a compatibilizer, were prepared by means of a twin-screw extruder.
Mica was incorporated in ABS/PC:65/35 blends prepared on a Haake Torque Rheometer System 9000 with Rheomix 600 mixer. To improve the polymer/filler interaction, a treatment using silane on mica surface was performed. Studies were conducted concerning mechanical properties (flexural and impact streng
