Abstract
This chapter presents an overview of properties and performance of polymer blends. It is structured into six sections dealing with aspects required for assessing the performance of a polymer blend. These are:
-
1.
low speed mechanical properties, viz. tensile, compressive, and flexural strength, rigidity and hardness, fatigue failure
-
2.
high speed mechanical properties and fracture mechanics, viz. Izod and Charpy impact strengths, fracture toughness, toughening mechanisms (such as crazing, shear yielding and cavitation)
-
3.
chemical and solvent effects
-
4.
thermal and thermodynamic properties, viz. thermal conductivity, heat capacity, heat deflection temperature, the thermodynamic interaction parameter
-
5.
flammability
-
6.
others, such as electrical and optical properties, viz. the methods of determining electrical conductivity, resistivity, break-down voltage, optical transparency, haze and refractive index of polymer blends, etc.
