Abstract
In this work dynamic rheological and peel strength measurements on laminates of polyamide and several modified polyolefins were made to evaluate the interfacial compatibilization phenomena. The polyolefins used were a low-density polyethylene, without any treatment and γ-ray irradiated in air, and two copolymers, an ethylene–tert-butyl acrylate–acrylic acid terpolymer and a partially neutralized ethylene–methacrylic acid copolymer containing sodium cations. Multilayer structures containing different amounts of both interfacial surface and volume fraction were studied. Relationships between viscoelastic functions and composition were used to analyze the effect of bulk and surface modification in the polyolefins at the interface with the polyamide. The results show that dynamic rheological measurements of stratified polymers can be used as a tool to investigate interfacial activity in multiphase systems.
