Notes:
Blends of Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) (SAN) (34% acrylonitrile and 24% acrylonitrile) and polyurethane ionomer (PUI) with SAN (34% acrylonitrile) were prepared in the melt. The structural properties and morphology of the blends were investigated. TPU and SAN blends were immiscible in the composition range 30-70 wt % of TPU or SAN. In TPU-rich blends, SAN propagates the separation of hard and soft segements in TPU. In SAN-rich blends, the interaction stage depends on acrylonitrile contents. SEM measurements showed that the blends of TPU/SAN were fine dispersions and clearly showed a continuous and disperse phase, whereas the morphology of the PUI/SAN blends were different. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
