Compatibilization of polymer blends from poly(styrene‐co‐acrylonitrile) and polycarbonate by oxazoline modification of poly(styrene‐co‐acrylonitrile) in the melt

Abstract: A good way of achieving compatibility in polymer blends of poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) (S/AN) and bisphenol A polycarbonate (PC) is the chemical modification of S/AN in the melt. A catalyzed reaction of the nitrile groups with a substituted 2-amino alcohol or 2-amino phenol resulted in a conversion of nitrile groups of 55-75% in 60 min. The introduced heterocyclic structures were ethyl hydroxymethyl oxazoline (EHMOXA) and benzoxazole (Benz-OXA), respectively. The use of dibutyltin oxide as a catalyst led to… Show more

“…In a batch mixer at 270°C and 60 rpm, the compatibilized PC/SAN/SAN‐MAH blend exhibited no significant dispersed phase coalescence after reducing shear rate to 5 rpm, while for the PC/SAN (70/30) blends, evident particle size growth could be observed if the shear rate decreased. Gordon Becker et al 20 modified SAN with 2‐amino alcohol or 2‐amino phenol in the presence of the catalyst (dibutyltin oxide) to introduce heterocyclic structures (ethyl hydroxymethyl oxazoline and benzoxazole, respectively). The modified SAN showed single glass transition temperature with PC in blends, which implied that the heterocyclic structures onto side groups of SAN greatly improved its compatibility with PC.…”
