Abstract
A super-tough polycarbonate (PC) blend was obtained by using epoxidize d ethylene propylene diene (eEPDM) rubber as modifier. The notched Izo d impact strength of PC/eEPDM (96/4) blend shows a great improvement, with a value about 25 times of that of pure PC. Finely and homogeneous ly dispersed rubber particles (0.2-0.8 mu m) in the PC matrix indicate d good adhesion between the eEPDM rubber phase and the PC matrix. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
