摘要
In the present research, the isothermal and non-isothermal crystallization of polypropylene (PP) phase in PP-rich poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene)/polypropylene (ABS/PP) blends was studied. The effect of nanofillers' incorporation and specialty of organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) and graphene, into the prepared blends on the isothermal and non-isothermal crystallization of PP phase, were investigated. Moreover, kinetic study of their isothermal crystallization process was carried out, by applying the Avrami equation. The addition of ABS to the PP matrix increased the crystallization rate of PP at 130 A degrees C. The incorporation of OMMT in pure PP accelerated slightly the crystallization process, whereas in ABS/PP blends, it seemed to retard crystallization, due to interactions between ABS phase and organoclay. The incorporation of graphene in pure PP accelerated impressively its isothermal crystallization, while the addition of ABS in graphene/PP nanocomposite slowed down the crystallization rate of PP. The effect of ABS and nanofillers, separately or in combination, on the crystallization of PP phase was reflected on the kinetic parameters of the Avrami equation. Regarding the non-isothermal crystallization, ABS/PP blends presented higher crystallization temperature (T (c)) compared to pure PP. The organoclay reinforcement did not have any obvious effect on this temperature, whereas graphene caused significant increase, acting as nucleating agent. The presence of ABS to PP increased the concentration of the beta-crystalline phase, reaching its maximum value at 30 mass% ABS content. The organoclay decreased the beta-PP in ABS/PP blends, whereas graphene eliminated it.
