It is often found out that the layer peeling takes place in resin processing with the composite system of high impact rubber-plastics, but no cause has been cleared yet. In the previous study, 1) the same phenomenon of layer peeling during processing was reported on EVA-AS graft copolymer.
The free EVA particle becomes easy to flow in AS continuous phase which is resulted in the phase delamination. It is cleared that the layer peeling can be avoided by means of solidifying steadily EVA particle in AS continuous phase either with increasing graft degree and/or by crosslinking.
In this report, the phase peeling phenomenon in processing was further studied on morphological microstructure by electron microscopy.
EVA particle can not be steadily dispersed by suspension polymerization, but can be conducted either by bulk-suspension or in the ester-exchanged bulk-suspension method.
