Abstract

Blends of polypropylene copolymer (PP‐cp) and a polyolefinic elastomer (POE) were prepared by a melt‐blending process at 210°C and 60 rpm using a counterrotating twin‐screw extruder. The POE content was varied up to 25%. The shear viscosity over a wide range of shear rate was measured. All blend compositions showed well‐defined zero shear viscosity and shear thinning behavior. The melt viscosity values were between those of the principal components in all cases. Rheology of blends shows different behavior up to concentrations of POE corresponding to the tough–brittle transition. The linear viscoelastic properties (G′, G″, η*, η′, η″) were used to check the miscibility of the two components in the melt state. All blend compositions showed a good degree of miscibility over the range of POE concentrations studied. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 84: 665–671, 2002; DOI 10.1002/app.10376

Polypropylene copolymer (PP-cp) has a large number of applications and is preferred over the homopolymer due to its higher impact strength. These impact properties can be further improved by blending with polyolefinic elastomer (POE). Blends were prepared by using commercially available POE (Engage®
