Rheological Investigation with Palierne’s Model on a Polystyrene/Nylon 6 Blending Melt Compatibilized by a Polystyrene Grafted Maleic Anhydride

Abstract
The dynamic rheological behaviors are measured by small amplitude oscillatory shear on a rotational rheometer for a polystyrene (PS)/nylon 6 (PA6) blend compatibilized by a polystyrene grafted maleic anhydride (PS-g-MAH). The storage moduli versus angular frequency (G’-ω) data of the blends are fitted by Palierne model. The Palierne model fits the data basically well for the PA6-rich blends and the 70/6/30 (PS/PS-g-MAH/PA6) blend. The fitting results show that the PS-g-MAH has a fine compatibilizing effect on the PS/PA6 blends.
