Abstract:

A poly(N⁃phenylmaleimide⁃styrene⁃acrylonitrile) copolymer (PNSA) latex with a uniform molecular structure and good compatibility with PVC was successfully prepared through seed emulsion polymerization combined with a semi⁃continuous feeding method. PNSA/PVC blends were prepared through directly compounding PNSA with PVC resin, and its heat⁃resistant modification effect was evaluated. The results indicated that the PNSA latex exhibited a random structure and a uniform particle⁃size distribution ranging from 155.6 to 249.3 nm. The molecular structure of PNSA is uniform. The differential scanning calorimetry curve shows a single glass transition temperature (Tg) for PNSA, suggesting its excellent compatibility with PVC resin. When the addition amount of PNSA was increased from 0 to 50 wt%, the blends presented an increase in Tg from 84.8 to 107.2 ℃, and their Vicat softening temperature increased from 71.2 to 91.9 ℃. In addition to heat⁃resistant modification, the mechanical properties of the blends were also improved to a certain extent. This study is conducive to further expanding the application field of PVC.
