Abstract

Impact behavior and tensile properties of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) terpolyer/Chlorsulfonated Polyethylene (CSM) blends are studied at CSM concentrations of 0 to 30.6 vol%. The data are presented as functions of CSM content. Predictive models have been employed to analyze the tensile properties. Impact behavior has been analyzed on the basis of interphase adhesion. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been used to study the adhesion between the matrix and the elastomeric phase.
