The Ideal Temperature Setting of Polymer Blends: Investigational Characterization Effects of Color Matching
Year: 2021
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The goal of this work, to study the characteristics of a mixture of the two Lexan polycarbonates, having different (MFI) the characterizations were run in two stages.The first stage: The two-polycarbonate resins of different weight percentages and MFI were melt-blended using (Coperion) a Co-rotating twin-screw extruder (SB).This grade rheologically characterized using the rotational rheometer and MFI tester.The same material was included; the same composition was blended in steps of eleven in a Thermo Haake Mini Lab II twin-screw micro compounder (ML).Further experimental design dictated a sample without pigment and additive (WOP) consisting of only PC resin, a sample with PC resin mixed with pigment and additives (WP) to study the characterization of polycarbonate formulation at different temperatures were also analyzed.They were rheologically characterized using the rotational Rheometer, MFI tester, Particle size analyzer and Scanning electron Microscopy (SEM).This work was mainly focused on examining the viscosity at the mid (Centre) -temperature =255°C.The focus was extended to the polymer grade to extract the impact of the rheological and dispersion characteristic at 255°C to study their correlations in the viscosity data and their bearing effects on color matching.
