The compatibilizing effect of the triblock copolymer poly(styrene-b-butadiene-b-styrene) (SBS) on the morphology and mechanical properties of immiscible polypropylene/polystyrene (PP/PS) blends were studied. Blends with three different weight ratios of PP and PS were prepared and three different con
Poly(styrene-block-butadiene-block-styrene-block-butadiene) and poly(styrene-block-butadiene-block-methyl methacrylate) copolymers as compatibilizers in PPO–SAN blends. I. Morphology and fracture behavior

Compatibilization of blends of polybutadiene and poly(methyl methacrylate) with butadiene-methyl methacrylate diblock copolymers has been investigated by transmission electron microscopy. When the diblock copolymers are added to the blends, the size of PB particles decreases and their size distribut
It has been found that SBS block copolymers possess excellent tear strength at room temperature. However, tear strength is virtually zero at temperatures higher than the glass transition temperature of PS phase, ca. 95ЊC. Tear strength at high temperatures can be improved by slight crosslinking of P
Specimens of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block copolymers, Kraton D-1102, were prepared by solution casting using three different solvents: toluene, cyclohexane, and a mixture of tetrahydrofuran and methyl ethyl ketone (THF/MEK). Measurements of fracture energies of SBS specimens were carried ou
Block copolymers with polyester-urethane and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or polystyrene (PS) sequences were obtained by the use of polyester-or polyether-urethane macroazo initiators (PUMAI). PUMAI with a well-defined number of azo groups per chain were prepared via a two-stage reaction procedure
The two-phase structure of polymer blends or block copolymers prepared with polyurethane macroazo initiators and methyl methacrylate or styrene have been studied. The synthesis of these block copolymers was reported in a previous article (Cheikhalard, et al. J Appl Polym Sci 1998, 70, 613-627). One
