Impact Modifier Introduction Structure and theory on toughness of two-phase polymer-polymer blends The necessary properties of rubbery phase dispersed in thermoplastics Commercial Impact Modifier and Practice Formulation of High Impact PVC Formulation of High Impact PVC * Impact strength of plastics Impact strength constitutes a weak point in the spectrum of propertie of some plastics Some plastics such as PP, PS, PVC et al have a very low impact strength, I particular at low temperature, limiting their application The impact strength can be increased by adding high-impact modifier The notched impact strength of different plastics with or without modifier Factors affecting impact strength Amount of modifier Structure of modifier Process condition Methods to test impact strength izod impact test Charpy Impact Tester Dropweight test Methods to modify brittle thermoplastics Addition of plasticizer Copolymerization polymer blending High-impact rubber-reinforced glassy polymer system may be divided into two groups Theory: the mechanism of dissipation of the impact energy 1. Rubber particles dispersed in plastic matrix Example: High impact PS(HIPS) and ABS 2. Rubber phase distributed in a continuous lattice having a honeycomb structure Example: PVC-EVA and PVC-BAN mechanism of dissipation of the impact energy Initiating crazing: the rubbery-glassy matrix interface initiates craze formation, Growth of crazing: impact energy absorption Termination of crazing: craze terminates when reaching another rubber particle Having a Tg value lower than the temperature at which the material is to be used The rubbery phase must have more or less compatibility with the glass polymer solubility parameter not equal but not too far apart 3. The rubbery phase should be immiscible with matrix polymer when miscible rubbers are used antiplasticization effect 4. Optimum morphology Impact modifier
