AbstractA series of long glass fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) elastomers and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) copolymer (LGF/TPU/ABS) composites were prepared using self-designed impregnation device. Poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) was employed to increase the compatibility between glass fiber and matrix resin and thus obtain the excellent properties of composites. The dynamic mechanical properties of the composites have been investigated using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. The results indicated that the storage modulus of the composites gradually increases and then decreases with increasing compatibilizer content. In addition, the low temperature peak of the composites shifts to higher temperature with increasing compatibilizer content. The thermal properties of the composites were studied by thermogravimetric analyzer. In addition, the morphology and mechanical properties of the composites are investigated by scanning electron microscopy, a universal testing machine, and a ZBC-4 Impact Pendulum.

Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) and long glass fiber (LGF) were used to prepare LGF/TPU master batch for increasing the mechanical properties and heat resistance of PVC. It turned out that addition of LGF/TPU contributed to improvement in toughness of PVC but the heat resistance of PVC didn’t increase very evidently. The heat resistance and morphology were observed by vicat test and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) proved that incorporation of LGF/TPU into PVC changed the morphology of the composites and correlated well with the mechanical properties. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) showed that both the glass transition temperature and the storage modulus of PVC increased with the addition of LGF/TPU master batch; the presence of a single Tg indicated that each component of composites was miscible. In this study, the combination properties of the composites with 24wt% LGF was the best proportion in the range of 0-30 phr LGF, because it had the best mechanical properties and heat resistance.
