Glycidyl Methacrylate Terpolymer as Compatibilizers for PLA Alloy
COACE integrating R&D, production, and sales of polymer materials, specializing in R&D, production, sales, and service of plastic compatibilizers and impact modifiers., Polypropylene and glass fiber compatibilizers, Polyamide tougheners, and plastic alloy compatibilizers .
Coace® KS-05 is a random styrene-acrylonitrile-glycidyl methacrylate terpolymer.
Glycidyl methacrylate terpolymers, specifically random styrene-acrylonitrile-glycidyl methacrylate (SAN-GMA) terpolymers, are good PLA alloy compatibilizers. The unusual mixture of styrene, acrylonitrile, and glycidyl methacrylate improves compatibility, mechanical characteristics, thermal stability, and processability. The versatility, environmental benefits, cost-effectiveness, and customizability of SAN-GMA terpolymers make them an excellent complement to the PLA material range.
1. Random Terpolymer Structure.: The SAN-GMA terpolymer is made up of styrene, acrylonitrile, and glycidyl methacrylate that are dispersed randomly along the polymer chain. This random distribution enables diverse interactions with various polymers, making it an efficient compatibilizer for PLA alloys.
2. Reactive Epoxy Groups: The glycidyl methacrylate component adds reactive epoxy groups to the terpolymer. These groups can create covalent connections with other polymers in the blend, improving the interfacial adhesion and compatibility of PLA and other polymers including polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), polycaprolactone (PCL), and polyethylene.
3. Enhanced compatibility: The presence of styrene and acrylonitrile in the terpolymer promotes its compatibility with a wide range of polymers. Styrene gives stiffness and strength, whilst acrylonitrile enhances thermal stability and chemical resistance. The glycidyl methacrylate component improves compatibility through reactive bonding.
4. Improved mechanical properties.: The use of SAN-GMA terpolymer as a compatibilizer in PLA alloys increases mechanical qualities like tensile strength, impact resistance, and elongation at break. This improvement is the result of better dispersion and adhesion amongst the blend's various polymer phases.
SAN-GMA terpolymers are thermally stable and ideal for high-temperature applications. The addition of acrylonitrile improves the thermal performance of the PLA alloy, guaranteeing that the material maintains its characteristics under thermal stress.
5. Processability: The use of SAN-GMA terpolymers improves the processability of PLA alloys. These compatibilizers reduce the melt viscosity of the blend, allowing for easier extrusion, injection molding, and other processing procedures. Improved processability leads to increased productivity and reduced manufacturing costs.
6. SAN-GMA Terpolymer Compatibilizers offer versatility: SAN-GMA terpolymers are versatile and suited for a wide range of applications. Their ability to improve the qualities of PLA alloys assures that these materials can satisfy the needs of a variety of industries, including packaging, automotive, consumer goods, and biomedical applications.
7. Environmental Benefits: SAN-GMA terpolymers help to ensure the environmental sustainability of PLA alloys. These compatibilizers contribute to the production of high-quality, environmentally friendly products by increasing the performance of biodegradable PLA.
