Impact Modifiers for Engineering thermoplastics
Alain Bouilloux - BDI - October 2003
Impact Modification
• Objectives To reduce brittle behaviour of engineering polymers such as Polyesters, PA. PET and PBT have good mechanical and thermal properties (flexural modulus etc.) but their main defects are the poor impact resistance at low temperatures (30°C, -40°C) and sensitivity to notch • Solution To disperse homogeneously in small particles an elastomeric polymer (low Tg) in the semi-cristalline Polyester matrix in order to reduce the brittle behavior by a mechanism which absorbs energy and avoids crack propagation
PBT : Ultradur B 4500 from BASF

(Scanning electron microscopy after fracture at low temperature + extraction of the dispersed phase + metallization of the surface + image analysis (particle size distribution))
