摘要

A dual reactive compatibilizer was designed to compatibilize MVQ/PP blends. Under the GMA/MAH molar ratio of 0.5/1

the interface thickness largely increases

the average size of MVQ dispersed phase largely decreases

and the mechanical properties of the blend are increased

all indicating its good compatibilization effect.

Abstract

Methyl vinyl silicone rubber (MVQ)/polypropylene (PP) thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) combines the good melt processability

recyclability and sealing performance as well as biosafety

stain and fluid resistance

and thus it is especially suitable in bio-safety areas and wearable electronic devices

etc

. Nevertheless

the compatibility between MVQ and PP phases is poor. A big challenge on the compatibilization of MVQ/PP blends is that neither MVQ nor PP contains any reactive groups. In this study

a dual reactive compatibilizer composed of ethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate terpolymer (EMA-

-GMA) and maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP-

-MAH) was designed for the compatibilization of MVQ/PP blends. During melt blending

a copolymer compatibilizer at the MVQ/PP interface can be formed because of the

in situ

reaction between EMA-

-GMA and PP-

-MAH. The thermodynamic predict of its compatibilization effect through calculating the spreading coefficient of the

in situ

formed copolymer indicates that it can well compatibilize MVQ/PP blends. The experimental results show that under the GMA/MAH molar ratio of 0.5/1

the interface thickness largely increase from 102 nm for non-compatibilized blend to 406 nm

and the average size of MVQ dispersed phase largely decreases from 2.3 μm to 0.36 μm

the

of the two phases shifts toward each other

the mixing torque and mechanical properties of the blend are increased

all indicating its good compatibilization effect. This study provides a good compatibilizing method for immiscible MVQ/PP blends with no reactive groups in both components for the preparation of high performance MVQ/PP TPVs.
