Development of hybrid composites for automotive applications: effect of addition of SEBS on the morphology, mechanical, viscoelastic, crystallization and thermal degradation properties of PP/PS–xGnP composites

Abstract

The presence of SEBS and xGnP in PP/PS blend allows better stress transfer between the phases.

Miscibility, UV resistance, thermal degradation, and mechanical properties of PMMA/SAN blends and their composites with MWCNTs

“…From the table, it is obvious that the thermal stability of the composites increases in the presence of MWCNTs. In our previous publications, we reported that incorporation of nanofillers only marginally improve the thermal stability of immiscible and incompatible multiphase systems . However, in the present case, a considerable enhancement in thermal stability is observed by the addition of even 0.1% by weight of MWCNTs.…”

Improvement of Impact Strength of Polylactide Blends with a Thermoplastic Elastomer Compatibilized with Biobased Maleinized Linseed Oil for Applications in Rigid Packaging

“…The absence of unsaturations in the hydrogenated structure provides excellent thermal and UV resistance [31], which is a key factor in the food packaging industry. In addition, due to its wide range of elasticity and hardness values (depending on the ethylene-butylene segments) and easy processing at relatively low temperatures, it is used in a wide range of sectors such as adhesives, cable coatings, films, toys, household appliances and, increasingly, in the medical and automotive sectors [32,33]. SEBS has been reported to provide improved impact strength and overall ductility in poly(propylene)/poly(styrene) blends as well as in polyamide-based formulations [34][35][36].…”

Construction of K+ responsive surface on SEBS to reduce the hemolysis of preserved erythrocytes

“…Styrene-b-(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene elastomer (SEBS) is the product of a hydrogenated polystyreneb-polybutadiene-b-polystyrene (SBS) triblock copolymer, and exhibits an excellent oxidative and hydrolytic resistance. 5 The advantages of SEBS makes it a potential candidate for the preparation of plasticizer-free bags. 6 However, long-term contact of red blood cells (RBCs) with SEBS induces serious hemolysis, and can cause intrinsic mechanisms for human disease.…”
