Abstract
The impact strength of polyamide 11 (PA11) was improved by dispersing 10–30 wt% poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) without adding a compatibilizer, and no deterioration of the flexural modulus was occurred. The impact strength was controlled by the difference in shrinkage ratios between PA11 and PBS, and was three times that of neat PA11 (an increase from 13 to 40 kJ m−2). The mechanism of impact strength enhancement is discussed in terms of the formation of the dilational stress fields.
