PCABSblends
PC-ABS blends are polymer blends composed of polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). They are engineered to merge the heat resistance, stiffness, and dimensional stability of PC with the toughness, processability, and cost advantages of ABS. The resulting material is commonly used in applications where a balance of strength, impact resistance, and manufacturability is needed.
In typical PC-ABS formulations, the blend is immiscible, forming a two-phase morphology with a PC-rich phase
PC-ABS offers improved impact resistance and toughness relative to pure PC, while maintaining better heat resistance
Processing methods for PC-ABS include injection molding and extrusion, with PC-ABS filaments widely used in 3D
