DMA测试结果显示,2种聚丙烯离聚体使i PP/PA11共混体系的玻璃化转变温度Tg相互靠近;SEM结果显示,离聚体的加入使分散相粒子尺寸显著减小,两相界面作用力增加;力学性能测试表明,iPP/PA11/IA、i PP/PA11/IB三元共混体系的拉伸强度和冲击强度保持较好的水平.以上研究结果表明,IA和IB均可以显著改善i PP/PA11共混体系的相容性.展开更多

The miscibility, thermal behavior, phase morphology and mechanical property of ionomers and blends were investigated through dynamic mechanical analyses （DMA）, differential scanning calorimetry （DSC）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, tensile and impact testing. DMA and SEM results showed that better compatibility between the PLA and i-BIIR was achieved compared to the PLA/unmodified BIIR elastomer. A remarkable improvement in ductility with an optimum elongation at break up to 235% was achieved for the PLA/i-BIIR blends with 1-dodecylimidazole alkyl chain （i-BIIR-12）, more than 10 times higher than that of pure PLA. The impact strengths of PLA were enhanced from 1.9 kJ/m2 to 4.1 k J/m2 for the PLA/10 wt% i-BIIR-12 blend. Toughening mechanism had been established by systematical analysis of the compatibility, intermolecular interaction and phase structures of the blends. Interracial cavitations initiated massive shear yielding of the PLA matrix owing to a suitable interfacial adhesion which played a key role in the enormous toughening effect in these blends. We believed that introducing imidazolium group into the BIIR elastomer was vital for the formation of a suitable interfacial adhesion.展开更多
