Abstract
Styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS) was grafted with dibutyl maleate (DBM), methacrylic acid (MAA), or maleic anhydride (MAH) by 60Co γ-rays. The grafted SBS was blended with polyamide 6 (PA6). The compatibility of the PA6/SBS blends was studied with scanning electron microscopy and rheological measurements. The results showed significant improvement in the compatibility of PA6 blended with MAH- or MAA-grafted SBS, with the former being more effective, whereas grafting DBM was ineffective in this respect. Mechanisms of the compatibility enhancement and ineffectiveness are discussed. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
