RESUMO

In this work, the dynamic behavior of polymethylmetacrylate/polystyrene (PMMA/PS) blends to which P(S-co-MMA) was added was studied. Several blend composition and copolymer concentrations were studied. The rheological behavior of blends was compared to Bousminas[1] and Paliernes generalized[2] models. The relaxation spectra of the blends were also inferred, and the results were analyzed in light of the analysis of Jacobs et al.[4]. The relaxation spectra of the blends with smaller dispersed phase (below 10 wt%) and larger copolymer concentrations (above 0.4 wt%) showed the presence of four relaxation times, two corresponding to the blend phases, F, corresponding to the relaxation of the shape of the dispersed phase of the blend, and , that can be attributed to the relaxation of Marangoni stresses tangential to the interface between the dispersed phase and matrix. The experimental values of F and were used to infer the interfacial tension () and the interfacial complex shear modulus () for the different blends, decreased with increasing copolymer concentration. decreased with increasing blend dispersed phase concentration and decreasing copolymer concentration. The predictions of Paliernes generalized model were found to corroborate the experimental data once the values of and found analyzing the relaxation spectra were used in the calculations. Bousminas model was found to corroborate the data only for larger dispersed phase concentration. The stress relaxation behavior of PMMA/PS blends with or without random copolymer addition, submitted to step shear strain experiments in the linear and nonlinear regime was studied. The effect of blend composition, viscosity ratio and random copolymer was evaluated. All blends presented three relaxation stages, a first relaxation which was attributed to the relaxation of the pure phases, a second one which was characterized by the presence of plateau and a third fast one.
