Abstract

Polypropylene (PP) is a widely used polymer matter, which has many advantages, such as rich sources, simple synthesis process, small density, low cost, easy processing and molding. At present, there has been a lot of progress in the research of polypropylene modified blending, including PP/ABS system, PP/SBS system, etc. However, the research on PP/AS blend is relatively few, and the experimental formula range is large, so it is difficult to determine the optimal ratio. On the basis of previous experiments, this study further narrowed the proportion range. Through AS modifying PP, the interface physical effect of maleic anhydride addition on the mechanical properties of the blend was discussed, and the optimal proportion was found to obtain the modified PP resin with significantly improved mechanical properties.
