Abstract
Plaques of blends of Eurdragit RL 100 and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with different weight percentage ratios were obtained by compression mouldi ng at 150 degrees C. The mechanical strength of these blends was studied by a microindentation technique. The results show a decrease in brittleness a nd increase in hardness, toughness and yield strength by addition of PMMA t o Eudragit, (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
