Poly-butylene-terephalate(PBT) can be impact modified by blending with ABS material. The effects of the type of compatibilizer and ABS content on the mechanical properties of PBT/ABS blend were examined in this study. EVA-g-GMA and three type of polycarbonates were used as the compatibilizer. As the GMA content in EVA-g-GMA was increased, the tensile strength of PBT/ABS blend increased and the impact strength of it decreased. With increasing the EVA-g-GMA content in PBT/ABS blend, the tensile strength and impact strength decreased. With PC compatibilizer, the tensile strength of PBT/ABS blend decreased as the ABS content increased. However, the maximum impact strength was observed in 20~30% ABS content range.

Poly-butylene-terephalate(PBT) can be impact-modified by blending with ABS material. The effects of compatibilizers and ABS content on the mechanical properties of PBT/ABS blend were examined in this study. EPDM-g-GMA and polycarbonate(PC) were used as a compatibilizer. As the GMA content in EPDM-g-GMA increased, the tensile strength of PBT/ABS blend increased and the impact strength decreased. With increasing the EPDM-g-GMA content in PBT/ABS blend, the tensile strength and impact strength decreased. With PC compatibilizer, the particle size of ABS in PBT/ABS blend became smaller than that of the blend without compatibilizer and the particles were more evenly dispersed in matrix. The maximum impact strength of the PBT/ABS blend was observed in the range of 20~30% ABS content.

Polymer blends containing polypropylene (PP) with compatibilizers were prepared using twin screw extruder. Physical properties were investigated using universal test machine (UTM) and Izod impact tester. In the PP/acrylonitrilebutadiene-styrene (ABS) blends, mechanical strength was increased with the addition of PP-g-styrene acryloritrile (PP-g-SAN) compatibilizer, and the ductility was increased with the addition of ethylene-ethyl acrylate-maleic anhydride (E-EAMAH-g-SAN) compatibilizer. For the PP/ABS/ polycarbonate (PC)/Nylon-6,6 blends, impact strength was increased with the addition of ethylene glycidylmethacrylate (E-GMA compatibilizer) up to 0.5 phr. In the case of the PP/ABS/PC/Nylon-6,6/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/poly(oxymethylene) (POM)/poly(vinyl acetate) (PVC)/poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) blends, mechanical properties were increased by the complex compatibilizing effects of PP-g-SAN, E-EA-MAH-g-SAN and E-GMA, respectively.
