This paper focuses on the influence of glycidyl methacrylate functionalized polyolefin elastomer (SOG-03) on the properties of PC/PBT alloys, and also made a contrastive analysis with ethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate terpolymer (EMA-co-GMA) and methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene terpolymer (MBS), the common toughener in PC/PBT alloy. The impact performance test results of PC/PBT alloys with different addition of SOG-03 showed that the brittle-ductile transition began when SOG-03 content reached 3 wt%. The microstructure, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and multi-extrusion process results of PC/PBT alloys all showed that SOG-03 tends to be dispersed in PBT phase and the dispersed SOG-03 presents typical rubber-toughened polymer morphology. The toughening efficiency of MBS on PC/PBT alloy was much lower than EMA-co-GMA and SOG-03, and showed a worse processing stability after multi-extrusion process and long-term thermal ageing properties. The EMA-co-GMA and SOG-03 toughened PC/PBT alloys showed an equivalent toughness, while the PC/PBT alloy with SOG-03 showed a better processing stability during the multi-extrusion process and long-term thermal ageing property when the thermal aging time is more than 600 h.
