Radiation improvement of PS/LDPE blends with SBS compatibilizer

  • 1. Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology, Lardkrabang Bangkok (Thailand)

Description

Mechanical properties of PS(polystyrene)/LDPE(low density polyethylene) blends with and without SBS compatibilizer were investigated after γ-irradiation at dose range of 10-240 kGy under air atmospheric pressure. It was found that elongation at break and impact strength of the blends were mainly depended on the amount of the compatibilizer. On the other hand, tensile strength was improved by γ-irradiation, particularly, at dose range of 40-180 kGy. Gel fraction was found to increased with increasing compatibilizer and irradiation dose.
