Abstract
Melt blends of polyethylene(PE)/nylon-6(nylon), PE/nylon/(maleic anhydride-g-polyethylene) (g-PE) and g-PE/nylon were prepared using a Brabender Plasticorder. Measured properties included steady shear viscosities from a capillary rheometer, thermal properties from DSC and morphologies from SEM. It was found that g-PE is an effective compatibilizer for the PE/nylon blends, especially in PE-rich compositions. Compatibility was greatly improved in g-PE/nylon blends from morphological and rheological points of view, and the results were interpreted in terms of possible chemical reactions between g-PE and nylon.
