Melt Rheological and Thermoresponsive Shape Memory Properties of HDPE/PA6/POE-g-MAH Blends

摘要

High density polyethylene (HDPE)ylon6 (PA6) blends were prepared by means of melt extrusion and using ethylene - octane copolymer graft maleic anhydride (POE-g-MAH) as a reactive compatibilizer. Phase morphology, rheological and thermoresponsive shape memory properties of the blends had been studied. The results showed that addition of POE-g-MAH could increase compatibility and phase-interfacial adhesion between HDPE and PA6, decrease the temperature sensitivity of the melt, improve the shape memory property and processability of HDPE/PA6 blends. The shape recovery rate of HDPE/PA6/POE-g-MAH (80/20/10) blend is 96.5% when the stretch ratio is 75% and optimal shape recovery response temperature is 135°C.
