“…Similar results have been obtained by other authors. For example, Liu et al (2000) showed that during the reprocessing of injection-molded polycarbonate, the flow index increases slightly but continuously, through the first four cycles, stabilizing thereafter. Chrysostomou and Hashemi (1996) have shown that flow index values increase slightly from the virgin material to the five-time recycled material.…”

“…Polyamides have good dimensional stability, high rigidity (especially when PA is reinforced with fi breglass), good resistance to compression, wear, shocks and vibra# ons; they are hard materials, and maintain their hardness and tenacity at high temperatures, with no visible transforma# ons up to 80-90°C [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. PAs are semitransparent in moulded parts with thin wall and opaque in moulded parts with thick wall.…”

THERMALLY RESISTANT POLYMER COMPOSITES REINFORCED WITH FIBREGLASSABSTRACT. The aim of this paper was to obtain and characterize polymeric composites based on polyamide (PA) and polycarbonate (PC), reinforced with chemically ac# vated surface fi breglass (FG), with advanced proper# es and temperature resistance. Polyamide was employed as the polymeric matrix, and the polycarbonate as disperse phase. As PA and PC are immiscible due to the polarity diff erences, a polyoxazoline compa# biliser was used. A* erwards, fi breglass was introduced in this composite. However, in order to obtain these proper# es, many varia# ons of recipes had to be tested, with diff erent concentra# ons of the components. The star# ng point was a mixture of 70% PA and 30% PC. The amount of compa# biliser varied up to 5%, and the FG amount, up to 30%. The characteris# cs of these polymeric composites with compa# biliser and simple and treated fi breglass were studied. KEY WORDS: polymeric composites, polyamide, polyethylene, fi breglass COMPOZITE POLIMERICE TERMOREZISTENTE RANFORSATE CU FIBRĂ DE STICLĂREZUMAT. Scopul acestui ar# col a fost realizarea şi caracterizarea compozitelor polimerice pe bază de poliamidă (PA) şi policarbonat (PC), armate cu fi bre de s# clă cu suprafeţe ac# vate chimic (FG), cu caracteris# ci performante şi rezistente la temperatură. A fost u# lizată ca matrice polimerică poliamida, iar faza dispersă a fost policarbonatul. PA şi PC fi ind nemiscibile datorită diferenţelor de polaritate, a fost u# lizat un compa# bilizator pe bază de polioxazolină. În acest compozit s-au introdus, apoi, fibre de sticlă. Totuşi, în vederea obţinerii acestor proprietăţi au trebuit testate mai multe variante de reţete cu diferite concentraţii ale componenţilor. Astfel s-a pornit de la un amestec de 70% PA şi 30% PC. Cantitatea de compatibilizator a variat până la 5%, iar cea de FG până la 30%. Au fost studiate caracteristicile acestor compozite polimerice cu compatibilizator precum şi cu fibre de sticlă funcţionalizate şi nefuncţionalizate.

“…These properties offer high use value in fields which require materials with advanced characteristics: dimensional stability, resistance to UV radiation, solvents, aggressive chemical agents [1][2][3][4][5][6][7], impact resistance, and possibility of use in a wide range of temperatures etc. Properties result from a set of summed specific characteristics of individual materials, which arise from physical, mechanical and chemical interactions that occur during manufacturing processes that result in a polymer nanostructure.…”

ABSTRACT. Thermoplastic polymers are materials of the future, with special properties, depending on the type of elastomer, the degree of reinforcement, the type of reinforcement material, the functionalization of the reinforcing material, the type of functionalization agent, the elastomer-compatibiliser-reinforcing agent ratio, etc. Polycarbonate (PC) and polyamide (PA) are two elastomers with high hardness, immiscible due to differences in polarity, processing temperature, and solubility. These factors lead to a poor dispersion of PC in the PA matrix and vice versa. Mechanical and physical properties of these polymer blends come not only from the combination of polymeric compounds, but also from the developed morphological forms (interface). Therefore, an additive is required to act as a compatibiliser able to effectively reduce elastomer viscosity. In order to observe the influence of the selected compatibiliser on the properties of polymer composites, the latter were characterized physico-mechanically and morphologically. Thus, compatibilisers chosen for this study were polycaprolactone and polyalkyloxazoline. These compatibilisers, with specific surface and free energy, intervene in polymer-polymer interactions, increasing compatibility, forming polymer-compatibiliser-polymer bonds. Considering these properties formulations of polymercompounds were established (P1-P13) based on polyamide/compatibiliser/polycarbonate/fibreglass. Tested polymer composites contain different percentages of polyamide and polycarbonate (90, 70, 50, 30,10), compatibiliser (caprolactone and oxazoline) 3-7%, and 10-30% fibreglass. KEY WORDS: composites, polymers, polyamide, polycarbonate, compatibilisers INFLUENŢA AGENTULUI DE COMPATIBILIZARE ASUPRA CARACTERISTICILOR COMPOZITELOR POLIMERICEREZUMAT. Materialele polimerice termoplaste sunt materiale de viitor, având proprietăţi speciale, în funcţie de tipul de elastomeri, gradul de armare, tipul de material de armare, funcţionalizarea materialului de armare, tipul de agent de funcţionalizare, raportul elastomer-agent de compatibilizare-agent de armare etc. Policarbonatul (PC) şi poliamida (PA) sunt doi elastomeri cu duritate mare, nemiscibili datorită diferenţelor de polaritate, temperatură de prelucrare şi solubilitate. Aceşti factori conduc la o slabă dispersie a PC în matricea de PA şi invers. Proprietăţile mecanice şi fizice ale acestor amestecuri polimerice nu provin doar de la combinaţia de compuşi polimerici, ci şi de la formele morfologice dezvoltate (interfaţă). Prin urmare, este necesar un aditiv care să acţioneze ca un compatibilizator capabil să reducă în mod eficient viscozitatea elastomerilor. În vederea observării influenţei compatibilizatorului ales asupra proprietăţilor compozitelor polimerice, acestea au fost caracterizate din punct de vedere fizico-mecanic şi morfologic. Astfel, compatibilizatorii aleşi pentru acest studiu au fost policaprolactona şi polialchiloxazolina. Aceşti compatibilizatori, cu suprafaţă specifică şi energie liberă, intervin în interacţiunile po...
