ABS was melt grafted with maleic anhydride at three different levels of 1, 2, and 3 wt %. These three different modified ABSs were melt blended with polycarbonate using a single-screw extruder to choose a suitable maleic anhydride grafting level on ABS for better performance. For the compatibility s

β¦ Synopsis
Blends of polycarbonate/acrylonitrileΓbutadieneΓstyrene terpolymer (PC/ABS) and polycarbonate/maleic anhydride grafted ABS (PC/MABS) were prepared over the whole range of compositions using a single-screw extruder. Tensile, Γexural, notched Izod impact properties, and the heat deΓection temperature of these blends were determined. Mechanical properties of PC/MABS blends are nearly equal to or higher than, those predicted by the rule of mixtures, whilst those of PC/ABS blends show nearly equal, or negative deviation, from the rule of mixtures. The notched impact strength of PC/MABS blends shows a positive blending e β ect and proportionate increase from 25 wt% PC to 75 wt% PC. Scanning electron micrographs were taken of etched surfaces of selective blends.

The crystallization behaviors, dynamic mechanical properties, tensile, and morphology features of polyamide1010 (PA1010) blends with the high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) were examined at a wide composition range. Both unmodified and maleicanhydride-(MA)-grafted HIPS (HIPS-g-MA) were used. It was found
