Abstract

The phase morphology, degree of craze and impact property in Polycarbonate (PC)/Acrylonitrile-Butadiene- styrene (ABS) blend containing the phosphate based flame retardant were studied in terms of injection molding temperatures. As the injection molding temperature increases, significant amount of coalescences and crazes were observed and impact strength decreased. It was also observed that the addition of compatibilizer into the blends suppresses the coalescence and craze.

인계난연제가 함유된 Polycarbonate (PC)/Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) 블렌드에서 사출온도가 상승될 경우 모폴로지 변화와 크레이즈 (Craze) 발생 정도 및 기계적 강도와의 상관관계에 대하여 연구하였다. 사출온도가 상승될 경우 분산상의 합체현상(Coalescence)이 나타났으며 파괴시편에서 크레이즈가 많이 발생하였음을 관찰하였다. 또한 급격한 충격강도의 저하가 발생하였다. 소량의 상용화제를 첨가한 경우 합체현상이 억제됨을 관찰하였으며 크레이즈도 많이 줄여 들었음을 관찰하였다.
