The results of investigating the synthesis of ABS plastic in the presence of maleic anhydride are set out. It was shown that increase in the modifier content in the range 0.5–1.75 wt% leads to a reduction in the melt flow index and gel-fraction swelling index and to an increase in the glass transition temperature of the polymer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
