Abstract

This paper presents the mechanical, thermal and rheological properties of polymer blends of polyamide 6 (PA) and styrene-butylene-styrene (SEBS) using SEBS-g-MA as a coupling agent. The increase in the interfacial interaction of PA/SEBS blends with the addition of SEBS-g-MA was observed to enhance the mechanical properties studied (excellent elongation at break revealed by a 500% increase). Higher hardness values and a higher degree of crystallinity were obtained for compatibilized blends. In the presence of the SEBS-MA compatibilizer, the heat sweep thermograms obtained by DSC showed only one melting peak, which confirms the effect of the compatibilizer. The best rheological properties were observed for the ternary blends. The lowest concentration of SEBS-g-MA promoted the toughening of PA, and 7.5 phr of compatibilizer increased the modulus E' of the ternary blends compared to that of the binary blends. DMTA analysis allowed for the system to be characterized as partially miscible.

Keywords
