Montmorillonite nanokil ilave edilmiş düşük yoğunluklu polietilen/polistiren/stiren bütadien stiren polimer kompozitinin fiziksel ve aşınma özelliklerinin incelenmesi

Abstract

In this study; a polymer composite was produced by adding different proportions of polystyrene (PS), styrene ethylene butadiene styrene thermoplastic block copolymer (SBS) and montmorillonite nanoclay into low density polyethylene (LDPE). Six different polymer composites were produced by mixing all materials in a twin screw extruder. Later, standard test samples were molded from the obtained polymer composites by injection molding method. To learn about the various physical and wear properties of polymer composite materials obtained; Vicat softening temperature, moisture content, melt flow index (MFI), thermal deflection temperature (HDT), friction coefficient, density and wear tests were performed. In addition, in order to see the distribution of montmorillonite in the polymer matrix, microstructure photographs were taken with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) by using fracture surfaces of impact test samples. According to the results obtained from the tests carried out, which are included in low density polyethylene matrix; It has been determined that there are significant changes in the physical and abrasion values of the polymer composite with the change of PS, SBS and nano clay ratios.
