Blending PP with PA6 industrial wastes: Effect of the composition and the compatibilization

Résumé

Blending polypropylene to recycled PA6 industrial wastes at different compositions, with and without compatibilizer PPgMA was produced in a corotating twin screw extruder where, polypropylene acts as the polymer matrix and polyamide as the dispersed phase. Several techniques were used to investigate the morphology, thermal, viscoelastic and tensile properties of these blend. Binary PP/PA6 blends showed the presence of PA6 particles dispersed in the PP continuous phase and exhibited a coarse morphology. Increasing PA6 contents in the blend increased their crystallinity and their size and improved the tensile properties at weak deformation. In addition to compatibilizer PPgMA, the morphology shows lower diameters and a decrease in size of the dispersed PA6 particles. The interfacial adhesion was also improved, as a result of the creation of an interphase that was formed by the interaction between the formed PPgPA6 copolymer in situ and both phases. This interphase induced an improvement in tensile properties. The PPgPA6 copolymer generated by the interphase was identified with DMA analysis thanks to an additional transition in loss modulus curves.
