English Abstract

Compatibility is one of the major problems which effect on the characteristics of polymer blends.

Therefore, in the current search Polypropylene Grafted Maleic Anhydride (PP-g-MA) was used to improved compatibility between the components of the binary polymer blends.

So, two sets of ternary polymeric blends were prepared by melt-mixing method using double-screw extruder.

The first group is containing on (polypropylene (PP): 1% (PP-g-MA): X% polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), the second group consists of (PP: 1%(PP-g-MA): ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)).

The blends, containing between 5 to 20% ratios of a third material (PMMA or UHMWPE) and 1% of compatibilizer material (PP-g-MA).

Investigation the bending strength and impact strength was done for the prepared specimens.

Study shown that, the polymer blends (PP: 1 %(PP-g-MA): X% PMMA) gained the higher properties in flexural strength, whereas the polymer blends (PP: 1% (PP-g-MA): X% UHMWPE) have got the higher values in impact strength and fracture toughness.
