Abstract:The mechanical properties, morphology, crystallization, and melting behaviors and nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of poly (trimethylene terephthalate)(PTT)/maleinized acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS-g-MAH) blends were investigated by an impact tester, polarized optical microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results suggested that the ABS-g-MAH component served as both a nucleating agent for increasing the crystallization rate and as a toughening agent for improving the impact strength of PTT. When the ABS-g-MAH content was 5wt.%, the blend had the best toughness and a high crystallization rate. The blends showed different crystallization rates and subsequent melting behaviors due to their different ABS-g-MAH contents. The Ozawa theory and the method developed by Mo and coworkers were used to study the nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of the blends. The kinetic crystallization rate parameters suggested that the proper contents of ABS-g-MAH can highly accelerate the crystallization rate of PTT, but this effect nearly reaches saturation for ABS-g-MAH contents over 5%. The Ozawa exponents calculated from the DSC data suggested that the PTT crystals in the blends have similar growth dimensions as those in neat PTT, although they are smaller and/or imperfect. The effective activation energy calculated by the method developed by Kissinger also indicates that the blends with higher ABS-g-MAH content were easier to crystallize.
