Description

This work is aimed at improving compatibility of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) copolymer / polyamide 6 (PA6) blends through radiation crosslinking of the blends by 60Co γ-rays, in which three-dimensional network structure is formed by the crosslinked SBS molecular chains. Micro-morphology, rheological properties, mechanical properties and water absorption of the PA6/SBS blend with different ratios irradiated to 100 kGy were characterized by relevant instrumental techniques. The results show that performance of the SBS/PA6 blends could be improved by radiation modification of the SBS copolymer. (authors)
