Abstract

The aim of the research propose is to obtain a correlation between processing conditions to prepare and mold PBT/ABS blends and its morphology and properties. To reach such objetive the blends will be prepared through melt extrusion and molded by injection molding at different conditions. The blends morphology will be observed through TEM and the mechanical and thermo-mechanical properties using tensile, flexure, impact and HDT testing.
