Abstract
Graft copolymers were usually introduced to improve the compatibility and mechanical properties of polymer blends. In this paper, the effect of cationic vinyl monomer grafted polypropylene (FPP) with different grafting yields (GY) on mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP)/poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) blends had been investigated. The results indicated that FPP could enhance compatibility of PP/PVC blend remarkably. The tensile strength and the impact strength of PP/PVC blends with a concentration of FPP (GY=16.78%) at 4 phr increased up to18.10% and 74.67%, respectively. The viscosity of PP/PVC/FPP blends had been also investigated, and the results showed PP/PVC/FPP (80/20/4) blend was higher than that of other PP/PVC/FPP when FPP (GY=16.78%) was added. The SEM micrographs suggested that the compatibility of the PP/PVC blend was optimum when FPP (GY=16.78%) was added.
