Abstract
This study proposes melt-blending polypropylene (PPCP) a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes that have a similar melt flow index (MFI) to form PP/HDPE/ MWCNTs polyblends. The influence of the content of HDPE and MWCNTs on the properties and compatibility of polyblends is examined by using a tensile test, flexural test, Izod impact test, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The SEM results show that PP, HDPE and MWCNTs are incompatible polymers with PP being a continuous phase HDPE and MWCNTs being a dispersed phase. XRD results show that PP, HDPE and MWCNTs are not compatible, and the combination of HDPE and MWCNTs is not correlated with the crystalline structure and stability of PP. However, according to mechanical property test results, the combination of HDPE and MWCNTs improves the impact strength of PP.
