Abstract

The PBT-PC copolymers prepared through ester exchange reaction was used as compatibilizers in the PBT/PC blends.Effects of compatibilizers on the properties the blends were studied.Results showed that compatibilizers in the PBT/PC blends enhanced the compatibility between two phases,so the balance between mechanical strength and toughness was achieved.Move PC component in the blends influences crystallization of PBT and decreases the molding contractibility of PBT.The resistance of PC to solvent erode is improved due to the presence of PBT in the blend.The solvent resistance and the flowability of PC increase with increasing PBT content.
