Abstract
Nitrile–butadiene rubbers (NBRs) with different acrylonitrile (AN) contents were used to toughen acrylonitrile–styrene–acrylic terpolymer/styrene–acrylonitrile copolymer (ASA/SAN) blends. The properties of the ASA/SAN/NBR ternary blends were investigated via dynamic mechanical analysis, heat distortion temperature, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effects of AN content in NBR on physical properties, heat resistance and morphology of the ternary blends were studied. Heat distortion temperature of the blends decreased with increasing AN content of NBR. The impact strength reached the maximum value when 20 phr NBR with 26 wt-%AN content was added. Images (SEM) were in accordance with results of mechanical properties.
