The morphological, mechanical and rheological properties of poly(trimethylene terephthalate)(PTT)/maleinized acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS-g-MAH)/short carbon fiber (SCF) composites were investigated by the scanning electron microscopy(SEM), universal tester, impact tester and capillary rheometer, respectively. The SEM images of the composites’ fracture surface show that the fracture surface is rough and SCF are randomly dispersed in the matrix resin, and there is a good interfacial interaction between SCF and PTT. The composites show the maximum tensile strength when adding 10-23% SCF into PTT/ABS blends. The rheology results show that the composites melt are pseudo-plastic fluid, and the melt apparent viscosity of the PTT/ABS/SCF composites increases with increasing SCF content.

This research was aimed to study the electrospinning of natural rubber (NR)-acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) blend. The NR used in this research was compounded in a torque rheometor, with stearic acid, wingstay-L, dibenzothiazoledisulfide (MBTS), tetramethylthiuram disulfide (TMTD) and sulfur, respectively. The compounded NR was blended with ABS by dissolving them in tetrahydrofuran (THF), concentration of solution included 5, 10, and 15 w/w%. The ratio of NR/ABS was varied by varying the content of ABS of 20, 30, 40 and 50 wt%. Then NR/ABS electrospun membrane was built up by electrospinning technique with high voltage 15 kV, flow rate 30 ml/h, collector distance 15, 20 and 25 cm and collected the electrospun fiber on rotating circular at 1000 rpm. The morphology of electrospun fibers were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). SEM images showed that NR/ABS membranes had higher porosity with decreasing ABS contents. Decreasing ABS contents, decreasing solution concentration and increasing collector distance decreased fiber diameter of electrospun NR/ABS.

AbstractPolyamide-6 (PA6)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were prepared via melt compounding. Maleated acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS-g- MA) core-shell structural rubber particles were first introduced to toughen PA6/MMT nanocomposites. Before melt intercalation, MMT was treated with an organic surfactant agent. XRD and TEM results showed that MMT platelets were completely exfoliated in the PA6 matrix. And when the core-shell rubber particles were introduced into the nanocomposites, they were well dispersed in the matrix. Tensile and impact tests showed that a small amount of MMT could increase the yield strength but sacrifice the toughness. However when core-shell rubber particles were added into the nanocomposites, the tensile ductility and impact strength improved greatly. It was reasonable to say that the addition of core-shell particles could make the balance of the stiffness and toughness of nanocomposites.

Binary and ternary blends of poly lactic acid (PLA), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and tapioca cassava starch (TCS) were prepared by the help of melt blend method. Rheological and mechanical properties of the prepared blends were studied. Rheological properties were studied using capillary Rheometer, shear rate, shear stress, the non-Newtonian index, were determined .Mechanical properties were studied in terms of tensile properties, stress at break, strain at break and Young's modulus have been determined by help of Universal Test Machine (UTM-3969).The results shows the ternary blends reveals shear-thinning behavior, over the range of the studied shear rates where the true shear rate of the blend decreases while increasing the shear rate. It also found that the true viscosity of the blend decreases with increased ABS content.

Poly (trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT)/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) blends have been prepared in composition with various ratios using the twin screw extruder approach. Their morphologies and crystallization behavior were investigated. Typical sea-island morphologies were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The partical size of ABS increased as the content of ABS increasing. Differential scanning colorimetry (DSC) experiments showed that the melting point of pure PTT and their blends was almost constant. The presence of the ABS increased the crystallinity of the matrix in PTT/ABS blends with ABS content less than 30wt%.

In this paper, surface characteristics of 3D printed structures fractured at low temperature environments are analyzed. The samples are fabricated by using ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer) material, and the structures are constructed by the well-known honeycomb models using a FDM-Type 3D printer. To analyze the fracture surface of the samples constructed uniquely by using the 3D printer, the bending loads are applied to the samples at 30, −10 and −50 °C, respectively. The characteristics of the fracture surfaces of the 3D samples are also observed by the FE-SEM (field emission scanning electron microscope) equipment. From this experiment, it is evaluated that the fractured surface of the 3D sample is very rough at 30 °C, while it is smooth at a relatively low temperature. Also, several unique features of the fracture surface of a 3D printed sample structured by honeycomb models are also examined.

The blends of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) polymer and liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) were prepared using a melt-blending technique in presence and absence of different types of nanosilica. The effect ofZn++coated nanosilica on thermal, dynamic mechanical, and morphological properties of ABS/LCP blends was studied. TheZn++coated nanosilica showed a significant effect on the above-mentioned properties of ABS/LCP blends by reacting at the interface between ABS and LCP. A substantial improvement in storage modulus of ABS/LCP blends was observed in presence ofZn++coated nanosilica. Epoxy encapsulated nanosilica was also used as a compatibilizer in this blend system. It is known that the epoxy end group reacts with the LCP reacting groups. But in this case, we cannot find desirable results, may be due to the presence of ABS as the matrix. So Zn-ion-coated nanosilica proved to be better than that epoxy encapsulated nanosilica for the ABS/LCP containing blends. The SEM morphology also corroborates the above-mentioned argument.

In this study, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)/talc/graphene oxide/SEBS-g-MAH (ABS/Talc/GO/SEBS-g-MAH) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene/graphene oxide/SEBS-g-MAH (ABS/GO/SEBS-g-MAH) composites were isolated with varying graphene oxide (0.5 to 2.0 phr) as a filler and SEBS-g-MAH as a compatibilizer (4 to 8 phr), with an ABS:talc ratio of 90:10 by percentage. The influences of graphene oxide and SEBS-g-MAH loading in ABS/talc composites were determined on the mechanical and thermal properties of the composites. It was found that the incorporation of talc reduces the stiffness of composites. The analyses of mechanical and thermal properties of composites revealed that the inclusion of graphene oxide as a filler and SEBS-g-MAH as a compatibilizer in the ABS polymer matrix significantly improved the mechanical and thermal properties. ABS/talc was prepared through melt mixing to study the fusion characteristic. The mechanical properties showed an increase of 30%, 15%, and 90% in tensile strength (TS), flexural strength (FS), and flexural modulus (FM), respectively. The impact strength (IS) resulted in comparable properties to ABS, and it was better than the ABS/talc composite due to the influence of talc in the composite that stiffens and reduces the extensibility of plastic. The incorporation of GO and SEBS-g-MA also shows a relatively higher thermal stability in both composites with and without talc. The finding of the present study reveals that the graphene oxide and SEBS-g-MAH could be utilized as a filler and a compatibilizer in ABS/talc composites to enhance the thermo-mechanical stability because of the superior interfacial adhesion between the matrix and filler.
