BACKGROUND: Sub-micrometer core-shell polybutadiene-graft-polystyrene (PB-g-PS) copolymers with various ratios of polybutadiene (PB) core to polystyrene (PS) shell were synthesized by emulsion grafting polymerization with 1,2- azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator. These graft copolymers were blended with PS to prepare PS/PB-g-PS with a rubber content of 20 wt%. The mechanical properties, morphologies of the core-shell rubber particles and deformation mechanisms under various conditions were investigated.

RESULTS: Infrared spectroscopic analysis confirmed that PS could be grafted onto the PB rubber particles. The experimental results showed that a specimen with a ‘cluster’ dispersion state of rubber particles in the PS matrix displayed better mechanical properties. Transmission electron micrographs suggested that crazing only occurred from rubber particles and extended in a bridge-like manner to neighboring rubber particles parallel to the equatorial plane at a high speed for failure specimens, while the interaction between crazing and shear yielding stabilized the growing crazes at a low speed in tensile tests.

CONCLUSION: AIBN can be used as an initiator in the graft polymerization of styrene onto PB. The dispersion of rubber particles in a ‘cluster’ state leads to better impact resistance. The deformation mechanism in impact tests was multi-crazing, and crazing and shear yielding absorbed the energy in tensile experiments.
