Abstract
Methyl methacrylate-co-glycidyl methacrylate copolymers (MMA-co-GMA) were prepared to compatibilize the poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) and polycarbonate (PC) blends. The chemical reactions between the PBT and the epoxy groups and the good miscibility between the PC and the poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) phase were responsible for the excellent compatibilization effect of the MMA-co-GMA copolymers. The MMA-co-GMA copolymers decreased the melting and crystallization temperature of the PBT phase in the PBT/PC blends. Dynamic mechanical analysis result showed that the exchange reactions were inhibited due to the compatibilization reactions owing to the consumption of the carboxyl/hydroxyl end groups of the PBT phase. MMA-co-GMA copolymers decreased the phase domain size of the PBT/PC blends, and with the increase in GMA content in the MMA-co-GMA copolymers, the blends changed from a double continuous phase to a single continuous phase structure. Tensile test indicated that the yield stress, elongation at break and elastic modulus of the PBT/PC blends increased due to the addition of MMA-co-GMA. The impact strength of the blends changed unnoticeably.
