چکیده

Binary and ternary blends of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), polystyrene (PS) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) were prepared using a one-step extrusion process. Rheological and mechanical properties of the prepared blends were determined. Rheological properties were studied using a capillary rheometer, shear rate, shear stress, non-Newtonian index, shear viscosity and flow activation energy were determined. Mechanical properties were studied in term of tensile properties, stress at break, strain at break, and Young’s modulus was determined. The effect of the composition on the rheological and mechanical properties was investigated. The results show that the ternary blend exhibits shear-thinning behavior over the range of the studied shear rates where the true shear viscosity of the blend decreases with increasing true shear rate, also it was found that the true viscosity of the blend decreases with increasing ABS content. The mechanical results showed that, in the most cases, the stress at break and the Young’s modulus improved by the addition of ABS.

Influence of Layer Thickness and Raster Angle on the Mechanical Properties of 3D-Printed PEEK and a Comparative Mechanical Study between PEEK and ABS

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a rapidly growing 3D printing technology. However, printing materials are restricted to acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) or poly (lactic acid) (PLA) in most Fused deposition modeling (FDM) equipment. Here, we report on a new high-performance printing material, polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK), which could surmount these shortcomings. This paper is devoted to...

Processing and Characterization of Recycled Pc/abs Blends with High Recycle Content

In order to develop a polycarbonate (PC)/ acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) product with a high content of recycled PC, a low molecular weight virgin PC was added to recycled PC to minimize batch-to-batch property variations in the compounded product. Six PC/ABS blends were prepared on a twin screw extruder by mixing 50 wt% virgin ABS and 0-25 wt% low molecular weight virgin PC with 25-50 w...

Thermal Stability and Crystallization Behaviour of Modified ABS/PP Nanocomposites

In this research work, poly (acrylonitrile-butadienestyrene)/polypropylene (ABS/PP) blends were processed by melt compounding in a twin-screw extruder. Upgrading of the thermal characteristics of the obtained materials was attempted by the incorporation of organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT), as well as, by the addition of two types of compatibilizers; polypropylene grafted with maleic ...
