Mechanical Behavior, Thermal Properties and Microstructure Analysis of Marine ABS/PC Alloy

It is well known that in blend modification, PC(Polycarbonate)/ABS(Acrylonitrile-Butadiene -Styrene) alloy polymers were used very common , but because of its high production cost and poor processing performance limited its application in marine materials. To improve the problem, We studied the behavior of ABS/PC alloy performance, and made a lot of exploration to increase the toughness, made it meet the use requirement for marine. In order to determine the mechanical properties of ABS/PC alloy, we adopted a way that melt blending, extruding, injection molding and standardized tests, also launched microstructure analysis. The results shows that by adjusting the ratio of the blend, choosing the polymer alloys which meeting the use requirements of marine magnetic compass cover, we can get a more reasonable, better and more economical cost formula plastic for marine.Exploring the way that use plastic instead of wood or instead of steel to cut the cost.
