Abstract

Local elastic properties and microstructural features of low-density polyethylene-polypropylene (LDPE-PP) blends have been studied by microacoustical technique, differential scanning calorimetry and infrared spectroscopy. Focused ultrasonic beam of acoustic microscope has been employed to measure elastic wave velocities, bulk and shear elastic moduli and Poisson ratio. The experiments show that the mechanical properties of immiscible LDPE-PP blends are non-additivily changeable in relation to ones of primary gomopolymers. Maximum of the moduli values is achieved with small addition of LDPE to PP. Additional drawing of bipolymer shows essential increasing of orientation ability for PP chains in 5/95 – 10/90 % LDPE-PP compositions. DSC curves show no significant deviations in melting temperature and crystallinity degree for different compositions of PP and LDPE phases. Internal microstructure has been imaged for the blends by acoustic microscopy technique. It allows revealing dispersivity of components over the blend body.
