Melt rheological behaviors of the polypropylene/linear bimodal polyethylene( PP/PE-LB) blend were studied with capillary rheometer.Influences of composition, shear stress, and shearing rate on the melt rheological behavior were discussed. Non-Newtonian index( n) and melt flow activation en ergy of the melt were measured and the results showed that PP/PE-LB blends were pseudoplastic fluids.Melt viscosity of the blends increased with increasing PE-LB content. DSC and SEM showed that addi tion of PE-LB helped PP crystallize at higher temperatures. The addition of LBPE obviously increased the mechanical properties of PP. While the additions were 20 wt % and 40 wt %, the notched impact strength increased about 67% and 320%, respectively, however, at the cost of the tensile strength lowered by 7 % and 35 %, respectively.

Thermoplastic polyurethane(TPU) was blended with three elastomers separately,ethylene propylene-diene monomer elastomer (EPDM)，polyethylene-co-1-octylene) (POE),and styrene buta- diene-styrene triblock copolymer(SBS)，via melt blending. The morphology, mechanical and rheologi cal properties were investigated. Scanning electronic micrograph revealed a bi-continuous morphology, in which the elastomer domain formed a network in TPU matrix, which enhanced the mechanical proper- ties.Such interlocked structure also increased the torques of the blending melts.

Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer( ABS) was reacted with maleic anhydride( MAH) to form ABS-g-MAH. FTIR showed that some of styrene-acrylonitrile-MAH( SAM) copolymer graftec onto the polybutadiene particles and the other ungrafted SAM existed as free copolymers. Both ABS and ABS-g-MAH were employed separately as a toughener ofPA6. Reological tests displayed that the torque values and temperature of PA6/ABS-g-MAH melts increased with increasing MAH contents. TEM ob servation showed ABS formed big domains in PA6 whereas ABS-g-MAH achieved a good dispersion. Compared with PA6/ABS blends,the brittle-ductile transition temperature of PA6/ABS-g-MAH blends shifted to lower temperatures and the toughness was higher. SEM showed shear vielding of PA6 matrix and cavitation of rubber phase were the major deformation mechanisms of PA6/ABS-g-MAH blends.

The effect of molecular weight and molecular weight distribution( MWD) on the properties of polypropylene(PP)was studied by addition of DCP. The reaction of DCP resulted in lower molecular weight and narrower MWD of PP, and the crystallization rate increased, the spherulite size decreased and β phase vanished, which improved the transparency. When the content of the nucleating agent(TM-3)and theDCP were 0.4%and 0.05%,respectively, the best transparency of PP was ob- served. However, the mechanical properties of PP decreased slightly with reduced molecular weight and narrowed MWD.

In this paper carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were separately treated with dense HCl, dense HNO3，bromic acid, HNO3，H2SO4-HNO3 and K2Cr2O7-H2SO4, in order to increase the reactionof CNTs/BMI/BA svstemand interfacial interaction between resin and CNTs. XRD and TEM were used to characterize the structure of carbon nanotubes. The influence of CNTs/BMI/BA on the reaction characteristics was studied using DSC and mechanical properties of the composites were also investigated with CNTs treated by different acids. It was found that the CNTs treated with mixture of HNO3-H2SO4(4#CNT) enhanced the reaction of BMI/BA/CNTs system and greatly improved the mechanica properties of bismaleimide resins.When the contents of 4# CNT in the BMI/BA resin were 1 wt % anc2wt %，the impact strength increased by 16.92 % and 23.06 %, the flexural strength increased by 7.61 % and 6.47 %，respectively, based on those containing neat CNTs.

Poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC)/hydrotalcite nanocomposites were prepared via suspension poly merization of vinyl chloride in presence of 10-undecenonate intercalated hydrotalcite. The structure of obtained nanocomposite and influences of hydrotalcite on the thermal stability and the smoke density during combustion were investigated. It showed that a part of vinyl chloride was intercalated into the layers of hydrotalcite and copolymerized with 10-undecenonate in situ. Hydrotalcite particles were par- tiallyexfoliated and dispersed in polymer matrixin the nano-scale. The thermal decomposition tempera- ture and time increased as the weight fraction of hydrotalcite increased, indicating the improvement of thermal stability of PVC. Nanosized hydrotalcite particles exhibited an effective smoke-suppression function on PVC. The maximum smoke density decreased 40% when the weight fraction of hydrotal- cite was 1.25 % in the nanocomposite.

The crystallization，rheological, and mechanical behaviors of a series of starch were investigat- ed.Itindicated that the rheological and mechanical properties of the starch were not dependent on the degree of crystallinity and crystal formbut on the molecular weight and the content of the straight- chain.Recrystallization was observed during the standing period, which resulted in the change of the crystal form and the decline of the mechanical properties. Moisture would promote, and glycerol would depress the rate of recrystallization.

Basedon a viscosity model of polymeric melt representing the rheological characteristics in mi-croscale,the influence ofmelt viscosityon the filling process in micro injection molding was investigated through analyzingthepressuredistributionsof ABS at different inlet temperatures in different mi- crochannels.Numerical simulation showed that the microscale viscosity was lower than the conventional oneand reduced with the decreasing characteristic dimension of microchannel section. In addition, the curves of melt velocity at the sectionofz=5 mm became more smooth with decreasing characteristic di mension of microchannel section

In this paper, the impact, friction and wear properties of POM were improved via blending with PEO. When PEO(molecular weight 5.0x105) content was 5%, the blend achieved a notched impact strength of 12.9kJ/m2 two-folds that of neat POM, and the friction coefficient and the wear scar width were 0.18 and 3.5 mm，about 50% and 35 % that of neat POM, respectively. It was sug gested that PEO form a surface lubricating layer on the blends and thus decreased the wear scar width and the friction coefficient.

Low density polyethylene(PE-LD ) was blended with various inorganic nano particles and light stabilizer to enhance its resistance to photo-oxidative degradation in high altitude areas. Carbonyl index was determined using infrared absorption spectroscopy(IRS) and used as a characteristic of aging behavior. A small amount of .inorganic nano particles, such as SiOz and ZnO, played very good function for shielding ultraviolet(UV) light and inhibiting photo-oxidative degradation. These inorganic nano partides exhibited an obvious synergetic effect with light stabilizers. The effectiveness of the inorganic nano particles was in the order ofZnO> SiO2>Al2O3.

In this article, Na-montmorillonite (Na-MMT) was modified by butyltriphenyl phosphoninm bromide ( BTPB ) and dodecyl triphenyl phosphonium bromide(DTPB).Sedimentation experiments showed that modified montmorillonite had better dispersibility and swelling property in organic solvent containing toluene and benzene. XRD and FTIR demonstrated that the quaternary phosphonium cationic had intercalated interlayer of montmorillonite and the interval distance of montmorillonite was obviously enlarged. TG curves show that the initial decomposition temperature of quaternary phosphonium modified montmorillonite rose by 102 C and 57℃，respectively, in comparison of that based on quaternary ammnnimm salt.
