RESUMO
Aiming the development of polymer materials with high toughness, poly(butadiene-coacrylonitrile) rubbers (NBRs), with acrylonitrile (AN) contents varying from 32,9 to 45,7%, were added to poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) (SAN) by casting, mini-extrusion and monoscrew extrusion followed by injection molding. Addition of NBR resulted in significant improvements in the impact strength and the elongation at break, that were strongly influenced by the blend composition, the AN contents and the NBR melt viscosities, but the tensile strength is slightly decreased. The best impact strength results (157,1 3.7 J/m) were obtained with a 70/30 (w/w) SAN/NBR blend using NBR with 33,1% of AN and 51 ML 1+4 (100C), being ca. 700% higher than the values for pure SAN (22,4 1.1 J/m). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements indicated a partial miscibility between the copolymers, showing a shifting of the SAN glass transition temperature from 108,1 to 101,7oC for the 70/30 blend with NBR containing 45,7% of AN. This is in agreement with infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis that displayed a significant shift of the dienic band from 967 cm-1 to ca. 1060 cm-1 for all 70/30 blends, suggesting segmental interactions between NBR and SAN. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) from fracture surfaces revealed homogeneously dispersed spherical elastomeric domains, and the appearance of yielding and/or crazing processes for all blends. The size of NBR domains decreased as the AN content increased, while the number of NBR domains decreased as the melt viscosity increased. From these results it can be concluded that SAN thoughening by the addition of NBR is directly related to the AN content and the melt viscosity of the elastomer, depending on the morphology of the dispersed rubber phase. Higher NBR domain sizes cause better impact strengths, as large rubber particles are more effective in initiating crazing processes.
