Blends of acrylonitrile butadiene rubber/high density polyethylene (NBR/HDPE) compatibilized by Chloroprene rubber (CR) were prepared. A fixed quantity of industrial waste such as marble waste (MW, 40 phr) was also included. The effect of the blend ratio and CR on cure characteristics, mechanical and swelling properties of MW-filled NBR/HDPE blends was investigated. The results showed that the ...

The phase behavior of binary blends composed A 1 B and 2 diblock copolymers is systematically studied using the polymeric self-consistent field theory, focusing on formation relative stability various spherical packing phases. results are summarized in a set diagrams covering large space system. Besides commonly observed body-centered-cubic phase, complex phases including Frank–Kasper A15, ? La...

In this study, a melt-compounding process was used to produce ordinary polypropylene (PP)/thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) blends and modified impact-resistant polypropylene (MPP)/TPU blends. The influences of TPU on the blending morphology, melting behavior, crystallization behavior, and mechanical properties of these blends were investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry results show tha...

Thermal analysis (DSC: Differential Scanning Calorimetry and TGA: Thermogravimetric Analysis) of SEBS blends have been studied in this paper. SEBS blends were made using two transparent SEBS commercial grades with extreme hardness values. The first thermal property determined in SEBS blends was the evaluation of the thermal degradation at high temperatures (DSC). Another thermal property of the...

High impact polystyrene (HIPS)/corn starch blends were prepared in presence of glycerol as a plasticizer via melt extrusion process by a twin-screw extruder. The novelty of this work is first, because of the use of pre-gelatinized corn starch as modified one and second, the procedure of making blends by extruder which makes it ease of access and also industrially possible. The blends were then ...

Abstract In this work, polypropylene (PP)/carboxylated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (XNBR) binary blends were prepared with the elastomer component dosed in its suspension (latex) form into polymer matrix during melt compounding. For purpose, samples containing 0-20 wt.% using two different PP grades as matrices lower and higher viscosity. Analogous reference same composition also fabricated ...

the effects of unleaded gasoline and unleaded gasoline–ethanol blends on engine performance and pollutant emissions were investigated experimentally in a single cylinder, four-stroke spark-ignition engine with variable engine speeds (2600–3500 rpm). four different blends on a volume basis were applied. these are e0 (0% ethanol + 100% unleaded gasoline), e3 (3% ethanol + 97% unleaded gasoline), ...
