Creating Samples of 10% and 20% ZIF-8 in ABS To begin, 12.0011 g of ABS was added to the compounder at 195°C and 80 RPM. 8.85785 g was extruded. 1.2008 g ZIF-8 and 7.6681 g ABS were added. 0.02529 g unmelted ABS was removed. 7.71074 g of 10.018% ZIF-8/ABS was extruded and collected. To the remaining 4.276 g material in the extruder, 1.9763 g ZIF-8 and 5.7505 g ABS were added. 8.75301 g of 20.028% ZIF-8/ABS was extruded and collected. Notes Significant discoloration was observed in the resulting composite material. It was also noted that smoke was produced during the mixing process. This could be indicative of oxidation. Future ZIF-8 containing compounds should be made under nitrogen.
