Alloys of Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) and Polypropylene
(PP)
Introduction
Alloys of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and polypropylene
(PP) using a suitable compatibilizer with PBT being
the major component have been developed. Alloys of this
nature provide materials with a combination of mechanical
properties suitable for engineering applications. The
incorporation of PP helps in processing, mechanical
properties modifications and cost reduction. The blending
of PBT and PP to attain desirable performance properties
requires the incorporation of a third component in small
quantities which acts as a compatibilizer. The properties
are dependent upon the morphology achieved in these
three component systems, which has been studied / established.
Such alloys could be used in several load bearing applications
in the consumer industry, electronic industry, automotive
and other transportation sectors.
Prospective
Users: Manufacturers of PBT or PP, manufacturers
of polymer blends and alloys, manufacturers of moulded
articles made from polymerized materials especially
for engineering applications
