An investigation on the role of GMA grafting degree on the efficiency of PET/PP-g-GMA reactive blending: morphology and mechanical properties
Abstract
Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) has been grafted on polypropylene (PP) with the aid of styrene (St) comonomer, by changing dicumyl peroxide initiator content, GMA level, and St concentration. The performance of the resulting PP-g-GMA reactive material towards static and dynamic mechanical properties of poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was monitored in terms of grafting reaction variables and compatibilizer content. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, mechanical properties, melt flow rate, and impact strength analyses were applied to correlate structural changes due to grafting (or undesired chain scission) with blends’ properties. The competition between the desired reaction, i.e., GMA grafting onto PP chain, and undesired chain scission of PP macroradicals due to thermal degradation, was discussed based on torque–time curves and mechanical properties. Manipulation of grafting variables was responsible for a special behavior over properties, means that optimal or ascending/descending trends, which noticed high sensitivity of PET toughening to GMA grafting efficiency.
