Polypropylene(PP：continuous phase)/poly (styrene-co-acrylonitrile)(SAN：dispersed phase) blends, and PP/poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene)(ABS：dispersed phase)blends, containing various amounts of compatibilizer(PP-SAN graft copolymer), were prepared at various shear rates by using twin-screw extruder. In the PP/SAN blend, the average size of the dispersed particles(SAN) was increased with SAN content, while the flexural strength and tensile strength were decreased with SAN content. When the screw rpm was increased from 10 to 60 rpm, the size of the dispersed phase was decreased while the flexural strength and the tensile strength were increased. Maximum mechanical strength and minimum droplet size were observed when the 5 phr compatibilizer was added to the PP/SAN blends. The mechanical strength of PP/ABS blends such as flexural strength and tensile strength increased by adding compatibilizer was reached maximum when blends contained 5 phr compatibilizer.

Polypropylene(PP：연속상)/poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile)(SAN：분산상), 그리고 PP/poly (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene)(ABS：분산상)블렌드를 혼합 조성, shear rate, 그리고 상용화제(PPSAN copolymer)의 첨가량을 변화시켜가면서 이축압출기를 통해 제조하였다. 압출공정시 PP/SAN 블렌드에서 SAN을 0에서 40 wt%로 첨가함에 따라 분산상의 크기가 증가하였으며, 굴곡강도와 인장강도는 하락하는 경향을 나타내었다. 스크류의 속도가 10에서 60 rpm으로 증가됨에 따라 분산상의 크기가 감소하였고, 굴곡강도와 인장강도는 상승하였다. 상용화제가 5 phr 첨가된 PP/SAN 블렌드에서 최대의 기계적 물성값과 최소의 분산상 크기를 나타내었다. 상용화제가 첨가됨에 따라, PP/ABS 블렌드의 굴곡강도와 인장강도가 증가되었고, 상용화제가 5 phr 첨가되었을 때 굴곡강도 및 인장강도가 최고값을 나타내었다.
