The span length was 50 mm. Charpy impact strength was determined
in accordance with ASTM D256 using GOTECH
GT-7045 Charpy Impact Tester. The impact
strength was reported in kJ/m2
.
Thermal properties of specimens were analyzed using
TGA and DSC techniques. For TGA analysis, specimens
were tested with Mettler Toledo TGA/SDTA
851e at the temperature ranging from 30 to 1000°C
with the heating rate of 20°C under nitrogen atmosphere.
As for DSC analysis, Mettler Toledo DSC 822 was used at the temperature ranging from 50 to
150°C with the heating rate of 10°C under nitrogen
atmosphere.
Impact fracture surface morphology of the polymer
blends were analyzed using scanning electron microscope
(SEM) (Jeol JSM-6400).
