Polymer blends of poly (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene)/poly (methyl methacrylate) with ethylene methacrylate copolymer (EMA) were injection molded, and the notch sensitivity of the bends were examined by Izod impact and tensile tests. Investigations revealed that the toughness of ABS/PMMA composites were greatly improved and appeared a linear increase with the addition of EMA. However, the blends also show strong notch sensitivity due to the EMA component but the EMA content seems not a factor responsible for it. Tensile tests of the blends revealed that notches in any depth have great detrimental effects on the elongation at break of the materials, which is not consistent with the calculated notch sensitivity factor (kS) data.

A new organic–inorganic ferroelectric hybrid capacitor designed by uniformly incorporating monodisperse 15 nm ferroelectric BaTiO3 nanocubes into non-polar polymer blends of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) terpolymer is described.

Ethylene methacrylate (EMA) copolymer toughened acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS)/polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) were prepared in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. The effect of EMA on mechanical properties and surface gloss of ABS/PMMA blends was investigated. Experiment results show that the toughness of ABS/PMMA is improved effectively with the incorporation of EMA, while the tensile strength and glossiness decrease slightly. ABS/PMMA/EMA blends present optimum mechanical and luster properties when the content of EMA is 6wt%.
