Engineering plastics modifiers

Not only ate ABS polymers useful engineering plastics, but some of the high mbber compositions are excellent impact modifiers for poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). Styrene—acrylonitrile-grafted butadiene mbbers have been used as modifiers for PVC since 1957 (87).

To conclude the above methods of incorporation of modified lignin in polymer networks and blends opens new promising possibilities for the technical use of lignins and makes it competitive with other raw materials for engineering plastics. 

The most popular materials are styrenics and olefins, and engineering plastics such as modified polyphenylene ether or polycarbonate (Chapter 2). Fillers for enhanced physical properties, UV stabilizers, and flame retardants are common additives.

Among engineering plastics, SPS (impact modified and GF-reinforced HB and IR grades) has very low dielectric dissipation factor and dielectric constant following those of fluorocarbon polymers.

Ethanox 376 is a stabilizer that provides heat stability by preventing thermo-oxidative degradation during processing and service life. It provides compatibility with resins and extraction resistance. It can be applied in polyolefins, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene-1 and other polymers such as engineering plastics, styrenes, polyurethanes, saturated and unsaturated elastomers, styrenics, rubber modified styrenics, segmented block copolymers, and PVC.

Palladium catalysts with diimine ligands based on 2,6-diisopropyl aniline polymerize ethene to a rubbery, highly branched polyethene with low glass transition temperatures [12 a]. The interest in these materials results from their possible appheation as a rubber modifier in engineering plastics [3j,k]. However, the activity of the palladium catalysts is not satisfactory for technical use in a world scale plant We intended to improve the activity by increasing the Lewis acidity of the metal center by using relatively electron-deficient bromo phenyl diimine hgands.

Typically, chemically modified surface layers involve thicknesses ranging from less than 1 micrometer(H) up to 20H-, so the overall mechanical properties of the treated objects are hardly affected by the process. Even if one limits the discussion to materials containing C-H bonds, practically all engineering plastics are covered except pure fluorocarbons and some silicones. Clearly, various gases can react with the carbon-hydrogen bonds on the surface of a plastic article and can reduce the diffusion coefficient of penetrants in the material. The choice of sulfonation as the preferred treatment, therefore, is not based solely on the ability to modify transport properties.
