dc.description.abstract | © 2025 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.Blends of poly (lactic acid) (PLA) with acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) were prepared using styrene–acrylonitrile copolymers functionalized with maleic anhydride (SAN-MA) and epoxy (SAN-Epoxy) as compatibilizers. The blends were processed in an internal mixer and injection molded. Analyses included torque rheometry, dynamic oscillatory shear rheology, impact resistance, tensile strength, Shore D hardness, heat deflection temperature (HDT), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Rheological tests showed increased torque and viscosity in PLA/ABS blends, particularly with SAN-Epoxy, indicating better phase compatibility. The incorporation of 10 phr (parts per hundred resin) of SAN-Epoxy into the PLA/ABS blend (70/30% by weight) increased impact resistance by approximately 200% compared to pure PLA. Additionally, it promoted better performance in tensile modulus and tensile strength compared to the system compatibilized with SAN-MA. SEM analysis revealed that ABS particles in the PLA matrix had more stable size and distribution with SAN-Epoxy, explaining the favorable mechanical results. The Shore D hardness and HDT of the PLA/ABS/SAN-Epoxy blends remained unchanged compared to PLA, suggesting a balance of properties. Overall, SAN-Epoxy proved to be the most effective compatibilizer, indicating greater interaction with the phases, thereby contributing to improved mechanical and thermal performance. | |
