Recycled Polypropylene/SEBS Polyblends: Manufacture and Mechanical Property Evaluation

Abstract:

This study polystyrene-b-poly (ethylene-r-butylene)-b-polystyrene (SEBS) elastomer to modify recycled polypropylene (RPP). Tensile strength test, impact strength test, and a polarized light microscope are used to evaluate the mechanical properties and spherulite morphology of the resulting RPP/SEBS polyblends. The experiment results show that with an increase in SEBS, tensile strength of the polyblends decreases from 29 MPa to 13 MPa. With the distribution of SEBS in RPP, the spherulite size of RPP decreases, but the impact strength significantly increases.
