Abstract
Vulcanisates of blends of EPDM and polyamide copolymer were prepared by reactive compatibilisation using maleic anhydride grafted EPDM. The influence is investigated of compatibilisers, crosslinking agents, and blend composition on the mechanical properties. The morphologies of the blends were determined by scanning electron microscopy. It was found that the addition of MAH-g-EPDM reduced the particle size of the dispersed phase. The stability of the blend was measured by thermal ageing at high temperatures in the presence of the compatibiliser. Both dynamic mechanical thermal analysis and differential scanning calorimetry experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of MAH-g-EPDM addition on the Tgs of the blend components. It was demonstrated that the addition of amide copolymer caused significant improvement in the tensile properties of these blends. 15 refs.
