The Study on the Properties of Polypropylene / Nylon6 Blends with Various Compatibilizers

H . C . Kim

Abstract

The changes of properties were studied for the polypropylene(PP)/Nylon6 blends containing different kinds of compatibilizer made by either reactive extrusion of solution reaction. The compatibilizers were PP grafted with maleic anhydride (MAH) made by reactive extrusion and solution reaction. The grafted MAH contents were 0.3 wt %, and 2.7 wt %, respectively. The composition of the PP/nylon6 blend was fixed at 75/25 by weight. Blending was carried out with twin-screw extruder (L/D=30, ψ=30) at 300 rpm. As the content of PP-g-MAH was increased, the crystallization peak of Nylon6 decreased gradually then finally disappeared. Disappearance of crystallization peak of Nylon6 was mostly affected by grafted MAH content rather than the preparation method and the amount of compatibilizer. The portion of Nylon6 that could not crystallize in its normal crystallization temperature crystallized together with PP at the crystallization temperature of PP. So called concurrent crystallization was observed. Meanwhile two more peaks were observed during heating cycle. One was exothermic peak at 193 ℃ near to crystallization temperature of Nylon6, the other was endothermic peak at 215 ℃ that was 5 ℃ lower than normal endothermic peak of Nylon6. To analyze the peaks, nylon6 was annealed in the differential scanning calorimeter. As a result, the peak at 193 ℃ was crystallization peak of imperfect crystalline of Nylon6 and the other peak at 215 ℃ was melting peak of imperfect crystalline of nylon6.

초록

Polypropylene(PP)/Nylon6 블렌드에서 반응압출법으로 만들어진 상용화제와 용액반응법으로 만들어진 상용화제를 첨가하였을 때 나타나는 물성의 변화를 관찰하였다. 상용화제로는 PP에 maleic anhydride (MAH)가 graft된 PP-g-MAH를 사용하였다. 적정법으로 확인한 결과 반응압출법에 의해서 제조된 상용화제와 용액반응법에 의해서 만들어진 상용화제는 각각 0.3%, 2.7%의 MAH가 graft되었다. PP/Nylon6 블렌드의 조성을 75/25로 고정하였고 twin-screw extruder (L/D=30, ψ=30)를 이용하여 300rpm에서 블렌딩하였다. PP/Nylon6 블렌드에서 PP-g-MAH의 양을 점차로 증가시켰을 때 Nylon6의 결정화 peak가 점차 감소하여 마침내 소멸되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. Nylon6의 결정화 peak가 소멸되는 것은 상용화제의 제조방법이나 상용화제의 양보다는 상용화제에서 graft되어 있는 MAH의 함량에 의한 것으로 나타났다. Nylon6의 정상적인 결정화 온도에서 결정화를 이루지 못했던 Nylon6 가 PP의 결정화 온도까지 내려와 결정화하는 소위 concurrent crystallization 현상이 발생하였다. Nylon6의 결정화 peak가 사라지는 현상 이외에도 용융 거동에서는 Nylon6의 결정화 온도 부근인 193℃에서 작은 발열 peak가 나타났고 Nylon6 용융온도보다 5℃ 가량 낮은 온도 (215 ℃)에서 새로운 용융 peak가 나타남을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이 peak들을 분석하기 위해 DSC를 사용하여 Nylon6를 annealing 시킨 결과, 193℃의 발열 peak는 완전히 결정화하지 못한 Nylon6의 결정화 peak이며 215℃의 peak는 불완전하게 결정화한 Nylon6의 용융 peak임이 밝혀졌다.
