Abstract

Sodium alginate (SA) was blended with varying amounts of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) viz., 10, 20, and 30 wt % by solution casting process. Thus, the obtained blends were characterized by using different analytical techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microcopy (SEM). FTIR studies reveal the hydrogen bond formation between hydroxyl groups of SA and HPMC polymer chains. DSC analysis shows single glass transition temperature (T~g~) for SA/HPMC blends indicating compatibility and physical interaction between SA and HPMC polymer chains. TGA analysis indicates variation of thermal stability of SA with change in compositions of HPMC. SEM studies reveal uniform distribution of second phase in the blends. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

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.
