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%.

Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) / polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) with the addition of maleic anhydride grafted polystyrene (KT-5) and polyolefin elastomer (POE) were melt processed in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. The effect of KT-5 and POE content on the mechanical properties of ABS/PMMA was investigated. Experiment results indicate that KT-5 can improve the tensile strength and the composites are toughened effectively as the addition of POE. According to Orthogonal tests, it demonstrates that POE ha a greater effect on the blends than KT-5, and there exist no obvious interactivity between the two components.

The objective of this paper is to experimentally study tensile strength, Impact strength, Flexural strength and Wear Characteristics of the Nano tubular material Halloysite Nanotubes (HNT) into ABS/PC blend with ABS and PC compositions in the ratio 40/60. We have fabricated the Thermoplastic Nanocomposites specimens as per ASTM standards, with the Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Polycarbonate (PC) blend as matrix material and with 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% and 6% HNT reinforcement material using Co–Rotating Intermeshing Twin Screw Extruder by Melt Compounding. Mechanical Tests were conducted and results were compared with the original ABS/PC blend. Effects of Halloysite Nanotubes reinforcement percentage were discussed in detail. The obtained results suggested that ABS/PC (40/60) blend with 4% reinforcement of Halloysite Nanotubes executed better mechanical properties. SEM is used to study the failure mechanism of the proposed Nano composite.

This research is to study the effect of two different flame retardants i.e., bisphenol-A bis (diphenyl phosphate) (BDP) and 9, 10-Dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) on the flammability and mechanical properties of the composites of modified natural pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) reinforced acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). A 10% by weight of such PALF was compounded with ABS using diisononyl phthalate 1% w/w as plasticizer at the different flame retardant concentration (10 and 20 wt%) in a co-rotating twin screw extruder. An injection molding machine was used to prepare the specimens. The effects of flame-retardants showed that the PALF/ABS composite containg DOPO showed superior performance in terms of flammabitily. Higher content of flame retardants led to increase LOI value. Moreover, the composites added DOPO produce enhanced mechanical properties such as youngs modulus and tensile strength.

The objective of this study is to prepare α-cellulose reinforced poly (butylene succinate) composites (PBS/α-cellulose). The effect of amount α-cellulose on the mechanical properties of the composites was investigated. To improve interfacial interaction between PBS and α-cellulose, glycidyl methacrylate grafted poly (butylene succinate) (PBS-g-GMA) was used as a compatibilizer. Mechanical properties of PBS composites prepared by using a twin-screw extruder were investigated. The mechanical properties of PBS/α-cellulose decreased due to the agglomeration of α-cellulose. Nevertheless, tensile strength, Young’s modulus and flexural strength of PBS composites were improved after the incorporation of PBS-g-GMA. The optimum loading of PBS-g-GMA and α-cellulose in the PBS was found to be 5 and 6 phr.

PP/clay nanocomposites samples of 1st and 2nd cycles (recycle) and different nanoclay loadings (i.e. 0, 5, 10, 15 wt%) samples were made by utilizing twin-screw extruder and injection molding machine. The samples were then characterized using a tensile test machine. The tensile tests results showed that modulus of elasticity and tensile strength of the nanocomposites samples for both 1st and 2nd cycles were all higher than the neat PP, and increased with increasing nanoclay loadings. The enhancements of modulus of elasticity (as compared to the neat PP) for 1st cycle of the nanocomposites were about 38.08%, 49.33%, and 78.65% for NC-5-I, NC-10-I, and NC-15-I, respectively. Whereas, for the 2nd cycle of the nanocomposites were about 44.33%, 59.59%, and 84.69% for NC-5-II, NC-10-II, and NC-15-I, respectively. This indicated that the incorporation of nanoclay in the PP matrix significantly increased mechanical properties, especially modulus of elasticity and tensile strength of the nanocomposites. Additionally, values of modulus of elasticity and tensile strength of 1st cycle and 2nd cycle of PP/clay nanocomposites were compared by plotting them in two graphs. The plots revealed that reprocessing of the nanocomposites did not significantly influence the mechanical properties of the nancomposites.

Butadiene Styrene

Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) is one of the most widely used plastic. The application of ABS increases rapidly in industries recently. The drawback of the increasing demand of ABS is the increment of ABS waste. Huge increment in ABS waste has led to the increasing of environmental pollution. The demand in green technology and sustainability of resources has urged the need of recycling of ABS waste. However, the mechanical properties of the recycled ABS are deteriorated. Hence, this work aims to study the mechanical properties of blend virgin and recycled ABS. The first sample started with 100wt% of virgin ABS. While the second to eleventh samples was a mixing of virgin and recycled ABS at 10wt% incremental recycled ABS. The last sample was prepared using 100wt% of recycled ABS. The results show that the tensile strength of 100wt% of recycled ABS is slightly decreased as compared to 100wt% virgin ABS. Similar trend was observed on traverse rupture strength (TRS) when the TRS for 100wt% of recycled ABS is lower by 8% when compared to 100wt% of virgin ABS. The most significant change is observed on the impact strength. The impact strength for 100wt% of recycled ABS is substantially dropped by 86% as compared to 100wt% of virgin ABS.

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is a renowned commodity polymer for additive manufacturing, particularly fused deposition modelling (FDM). The recent large-scale applications of 3D-printed ABS require stable mechanical properties than ever needed. However, thermochemical scission of butadiene bonds is one of the contemporary challenges affecting the overall ABS stability. In this regard, literature reports melt-blending of ABS with different polymers with high thermal resistance. However, the comparison for the effects of different polymers on tensile strength of 3D-printed ABS blends was not yet reported. Furthermore, the cumulative studies comprising both blended polymers and in-process thermal variables for FDM were not yet presented as well. This research, for the first time, presents the statistical comparison of tensile properties for the added polymers and in-process thermal variables (printing temperature and build surface temperature). The research presents Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to explain the thermochemical reasons behind achieved mechanical properties. Overall, ABS blend with PP shows high tensile strength (≈31 MPa) at different combinations of in-process parameters. Furthermore, some commonalities among both blends are noted, i.e., the tensile strength improves with increase of surface (bed) and printing temperature.

Nanocomposites were obtained by mixing elastomeric terpolymer and nano-SiO2 in double-screw extruder at 130-150 °C, in which elastomeric terpolymer was prepared by terpolymerization of poly(methyl methacrylate (PMMA) macromonomer, butyl acrylate(BA), and acrylic acid(AA) in benzene using azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator. The results indicated that increasing the amount of PMMA, the molecular weight of PMMA and terpolymers as well as the content of carboxylic acid were favorable to increase the mechanical properties of nanocomposites. In addition, the tensile strength and the modulus at 300% elongation of nanocomposites reach to a maximum while the mass ratio of nano-SiO2 to terpolymer is 3%.
