    Linear viscoelastic behavior of compatibilized PMMA/PP blends
    (2013) De Souza A.M.C.; Calvao P.S.; Demarquette N.R.
    In this work, the morphology and linear viscoelastic behavior of PMMA/PP blends to which a graft copolymer PP-g-PMMA has been added was studied. The copolymer concentration varied from 1 to 10 wt % relative to the dispersed phase concentration. The rheological data were used to infer the interfacial tension between the blended components. It was observed that PP-g-PMMA was effective as a compatibilizer for PMMA/PP blends. For PP-g-PMMA concentration added below the critical concentration of interface saturation, two rheological behaviors were observed depending on the blend concentration: for 70/30 blend, the storage modulus, at low frequencies, increased as compared to the one of the unmodified blend; for 90/10 blend, it decreased. For 90/10 blend, the relaxation spectrum presented an interfacial relaxation time related to the presence of the compatibilizer (τβ). For PP-g-PMMA concentrations added above the critical concentration of interface saturation, the storage modulus of all blends increased as compared with the one of the unmodified blend.

    Effect of montmorillonite and chain extender on rheological, morphological and biodegradation behavior of PLA/PBAT blends
    (2017) Freitas A.L.P.D.L.; Tonini Filho L.R.; Calvao P.S.; Souza A.M.C.D.
    © 2017 Elsevier LtdThe effect of montmorillonite clay (MMT) and/or chain extender (CE) on rheological, morphological and biodegradation properties of PLA/PBAT blend was investigated. The biodegradation behavior was evaluated by CO2 evolution in soil burial. CE incorporation resulted in an increase in the complex viscosity of PLA/PBAT blends, an increase in PLA crystallinity and a decrease in the dispersed phase diameter. MMT incorporation resulted in an increase in the complex viscosity, more pronounced shear-thinning behavior and a decrease in the dispersed phase diameter. CE incorporation resulted in a slight effect in the rheological properties of PLA/PBAT blend in the presence of MMT. Unfilled PLA/PBAT blend presented the highest amount of evolved CO2, and the micrographs indicated that degradation tends to occur on the surface. MMT delayed biodegradation of PLA/PBAT blends even although their surfaces presented some cracks and holes in a few localized regions. PLA/PBAT + CE blend presented the lowest amount of evolved CO2.
