Abstract
The effect of addition of functionalized polyolefins (fPO) in an amount of 28 wt. % – mixtures of polyethylene and copolymer of ethylene with higher olefin containing 0.43 and 0.77 wt. % grafted monomer having two carboxyl groups in its composition – to aliphatic polyamides PA6 and PA66 on the structural features, the rheological behavior of melts and the mechanical properties of mixed materials was investigated. The materials studied were prepared by reactive mixing of the components in a melt in an extrusion reactor. It is shown that mixtures of PA66/fPO are characterized by more significant changes in the characteristics under analysis compared with those based on PA6 when the concentration of a grafted monomer is varied. An abnormally sharp increase (by more than two decimal orders) of the melt viscosity of a mixture of PA66 with fPO containing 0.77 wt. % of the grafted monomer, compared with the viscosity of initial PA66, is due to the specificity of the interphase interactions in the mixtures.
