The gelation behaviors of the reactive blends of nylon1212 and functional elastomer
Studies on the gelation behaviors of the reactive blends of nylon1212 and functional elastomer were carried out. The results show that the curves of the storage modulus(G')-frequency (omega) exhibit a gel plateau in the low omega region, and the transition from liquid-like to solid-like viscoelastic behaviors emerges with the concentration of SEBS-g-MA increasing. There exist the gelation behaviors in the blending process similar to those of crosslinking polymer. Based on Winter's method, the gel point of blends is determined to be, phi(g) = 17.45 wt%, and the corresponding value of tan delta is 1.44. The gel index n calculated is 0.61 and the gel strength S (g) is 1.08 x10(4) Pa s(0.61). However, the non-reactive blends of nylon1212 and elastomer have no emergence of gelation behaviors. The morphology analysis shows that the gel point for the reactive blends is a threshold of cocontinuous morphology, and morphology analysis can also be a method to determine the gel point.
