Rheological Properties of PC/EVA Blend Compatibilized with the Transesterification

The rheological properties of PC/EVA blends had been investigated by a Haake torque rheometer. The effects of blending temperature, a polycarbonate and a catalyst on the rheological properties of PC/EVA blends were discussed. The transesterification between PC and EVA, catalyzed by dibutyl tin oxide (DBTO), were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The results indicate that the chain break of PC or EVA can be accelerated by DBTO, which induces the equilibrium torque of PC or EVA to decrease as the DBTO content increases. But for the PC/EVA blend, as the blending temperature of increases, the increase of viscosity induced by the generation of the PC-EVA copolymer exceeds the decrease of viscosity induced by the chain break of PC and EVA. Therefore, the equilibrium torque of the PC/EVA blend with varying DBTO content is higher than that of uncatalyzed PC/EVA blend at the higher temperature, 250°C, compared with the lower temperature, 210°C. The content of PC in the blend influences the probability of transesterification and the generation of PC-EVA copolymer. The PC/EVA blend with 50 wt. %PC has the highest torque compared with the other blends.
