Uniaxial Elongational Viscosities of Ethylene Ionomer / Styrene-co-Methacrylic Acid Blends

Abstract: The effects of non-neutralized carboxylic acid(-COOH) on strain hardening of EMAA-54Na and EMAA-59Zn ionomers blended with StMAA and PS were investigated. In case of EMAA-54Na/StMAA blend, unexpected strong strain hardening appeared. However, this tendency was not found to all other samples. It was considered that cause of unexpected phenomena of EMAA-54Na/StMAA blend came from strong interaction between EMAA-54Na and StMAA due to acid-cation exchange mechanism proposed by Vanhoorne et al. Further, it was cons… Show more

“…The void fraction for crystalline rice flour B100 was as little as A similar tendency of the strain softening in uniaxial elongational viscosity measurement has already been reported in the case of immiscible polymer blend systems. [11][12][13] Their conclusions support our proposal that the present blend system is a two phase system between a water mixture and crystalline rice flour B.…”

“…Nishioka et al have reported that intensity of strain hardening for styrene-co-methacrylic acid (StMAA) can be significantly reinforced by blending only a small amount of EMAA-Na ionomer. 19 They concluded that this unexpected phenomenon of this blend system was due to strong interaction between the ionic bonding (-COO-Na) in EMAA-Na ionomers and the non-neutralized acid (-COOH) of StMAA. From this result, we consider that this concept could be applied for modification of the melt rheological properties of low melt strength materials, such as thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPEE).…”

“…[16][17][18] However, very few studies on the melt rheological properties of ionomer blend systems have been carried out. 10,19,30,31 The development of methods for the modification of melt rheological properties such as strain hardening under uniaxial elongation is of significant importance for the processability of polymer materials. Nishioka et al have reported that intensity of strain hardening for styrene-co-methacrylic acid (StMAA) can be significantly reinforced by blending only a small amount of EMAA-Na ionomer.…”
