“…However, the use of the PP is restricted by the low impact strength at the subambient temperature [8]. A blend of POM/PP is significant interesting, thus this work studies the mechanical and morphological properties of PP/POM blends.…”

This work studies the mechanical and morphological properties of polypropylene (PP)/polyoxymethylene (POM) blends. The PP/POM blends were prepared by melting-blend with an internal mixer. The contents of PP were used at 10%, 20%, 30%, 70%, 80% and 90% by weight. The phase morphology of the blends was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) due to the mechanical properties depended on the phase morphology. The results show the decrease of the impact strength, Young's modulus and tensile strength of POM/PP blends with increasing of PP content up to 30 wt% and then increase again with a high PP content. The percent strain at break of the blends increases after adding PP in a range of 70 -90 wt%. SEM study reveals that the POM/PP blends clearly demonstrate a two-phase matrix-particle microstructure. The results also show that the domain size of dispersed PP or POM phase increases with increasing PP or POM content. The POM domain size is smaller than the PP domain size which leads to a little change of mechanical results of PP.

In this study, poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene)/polypropylene (ABS/PP) blends with various compositions were prepared by melt intercalation in a twin-screw extruder. Modifications of the above blends were performed by using organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT, Cloisite 30B) reinforcement as well as two types of compatibilizers, namely polypropylene grafted with maleic anhydride (PP-g-MAH) and ABS grafted with maleic anhydride (ABS-g-MAH). Increasing the PP content in ABS matrix seems to increase the melt flow and thermal stability of their blends, whereas a deterioration of the tensile properties was recorded. On the other hand, the addition of ABS to PP promotes the formation of the b-crystalline phase, which became maximum at 30 wt% ABS concentration, and increases the crystallization temperature (T c ) of PP. A tendency for increase of T c was also recorded by incorporation of the above compatibilizers, whereas the glass transition temperature (T g ) of PP and SAN phase in ABS was reduced. Regarding the Young's modulus, the greatest improvement was observed in pure ABS/PP blends containing organically modified nanoclay. However, in reinforced pure PP, the use of compatibilizers is recommended in order to improve the elastic modulus. The addition of OMMT to noncompatibilized and compatibilized ABS/PP blends significantly improves their storage modulus. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 56:458-468, 2016.

“…However, the application of neat PP has been limited to some special fields due to its relatively low thermal conductivity. PP is mostly compounded with other polymers [2,3] or rigid particles [4][5][6][7][8][9] to overcome this limitation of thermal conductivity for some applications that this character is desirable.…”

Abstract-Aluminum oxide (alumina, Al2O3) and polypropylene (PP) have been often used to produce thermal conductive composites. Short Glass fiber (SGF) is generally used to increase the mechanical properties of materials, but decrease the thermal diffusivity because of its low thermal conductivity. In this work, PP/alumina composites with the addition of short glass fiberwere prepared via melt blending method to obtain thermal conductive materials with enhanced mechanical properties. Crystallization behavior, mechanical and thermal properties of composites and the effects of fibers treatment were investigated. In this article, we use two kinds of alumina particles with different sizes to prepare the PP/alumina composites and discuss the influences of SGF on the structure and properties of the composites. The results show that use of alkaline-treated SGF is better than addition of coupling agents in the PP/alumina composites. Optimum treatment time of SGF was observed as 4 h when the temperature was 25 °C. Thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of PP/alumina/SGF composites increased further when the SGF was treated.
