Abstract

Polyblends of poly( p-phenyleneterephthalamide) (PPTA) and nylon-6 have been prepared by coprecipitation from solutions of the polymers in concentrated sulphuric acid. The behaviour of solutions of the polyblends in concentrated sulphuric acid was investigated. The polyblends were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and density measurements. The polymers were found to form a miscible blend with the composition 62.7 wt% nylon-6 and 37.3 wt% PPTA. The blends could be compacted to hard dense solids by high pressure compaction.
