摘要:
A polyolefin blend is presented having a propylene containing polymer as a base component, a portion of which is functionalized with a hydrophilic moiety; a toughening component of polymer selected from the group consisting of(A) a copolymer of ethylene and an alpha olefin and (B) a terpolymer of ethylene, an alpha olefin and a diene; an interfacial modifier in the form of an elastomeric block copolymer; and a filler. The functionalized portion of the propylene containing polymer is present in an amount sufficient to ensure dispersion of the filler within the semi-cystalline portion of the blend; the toughening agent is present in an amount sufficient to enhance low temperature impact properties of the blend but less than about 40 weight percent, the interfacial modifier is present in an amount sufficient to assist in adhesion between the polymer components of the blend but less than about 30 weight percent, and the filler is present in an amount sufficient to enhance blend strength and hardness but less than about 40 weight percent. Also included is an article of manufacture containing the polyolefin blend described and a method for making such an article of manufacture by molding the described polyolefin lend into the configuration and shape of the article of manufacture, and the use of such articles as automobile components.
摘要:
The invention includes a process for preparing an improved melt-strength polyolefin blend by incorporating a polyolefin/clay nanocomposite product. The nanocomposite-modified polyolefin blend is used to form articles through processing operations that involve stretching and/or drawing, such as thermoforming, melt spinning, blow molding and foaming. The addition of the nanocomposite product to the polyolefin blend improves the sag resistance of the polyolefin and broadens the processing window of the operation.
摘要:
Multilayered structures formed from two or more polymeric layers are fabricated to obtain a single structure preferably having advantages of each of the separate layers. Polyolefin-based substrates can provide a layer with a good balance of stiffness and impact resistance, excellent processability, and relatively lower cost. Tie layers, preferably physically positioned adjacent a polyolefin-based substrate layer, facilitates adhering additional layer(s) together with the polyolefin-based substrate. Suitable tie layers generally include a multicomponent blend of at least one vinyl cyanide-containing component and at least one styrenic block copolymer component. Preferably, the additional layers include at least one acrylate-based cap layer, which can have a glossy, scratch resistance outer layer with excellent optical characteristics.

摘要:
Thermoplastic polyolefin blends with a good stiffness/impact balance, as well as enhanced surface durability, contain semi-crystalline polypropylene resin component, a propylene-based elastomer component, and an optional but preferred styrene-based elastomer component. The propylene-based elastomer (PBE) is characterized as having at least one of a) a plurality of identifying band positions at 998 cm−1, 974 cm−1, and 733 cm−1, as measured by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR); or one or more glass transition temperatures (Tg) from about −15° C. to −35° C., as measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry. The surface of articles made from such a thermoplastic blend shows increased scratch resistance and a decrease in stress whitening.
