Description
Summary:The phase morphology and thermal behavior of various isotactic polypropylene （PP）/linear low density polyethylene （LLDPE） blends were investigated with aid of scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and differential scanning calorimetry （DSC）, respectively. The effect of barrel （melt） temperature on the morphology, thermal behavior and the resultant mechanical properties of the injection molded bars was the research focus, and the influence of LLDPE composition was also taken into account. It was found that the mechanical properties, especially the tensile ductility and the impact strength, were greatly affected by the processing temperature. The samples obtained at low temperatures had the highest elongation at break and impact strength, while those molded at high temperatures had the poorest toughness. Two reasons were responsible for that： first, the phase size in the samples increased with the processing temperature; second, possible orientation existed in the samples obtained at low processing temperatures.
