Abstract
Blending of hydrophilic polyamide and hydrophobic polyesters can produce products which could find a variety of applications. The introduction of unsaturation, amide and ester groups into one polymer chain may afford polymers which have a crosslinking capability with vinyl monomers. The authors have reported novel unsaturated poly(ester-amide) resins, synthesised by using epoxy resins, and this particular study investigates the interacting blends of unsaturated poly(ester-amide) with the vinyl monomers, and describes the interacting blends of unsaturated poly(ester-amide) with methyl methacrylate. The chemical, mechanical and electrical properties of the glass fibre composites based on unsaturated polyesteramide- MMA resin blend were evaluated. 15 refs.
