Abstract
The study deals with the variation of physical properties of a blend (50/50 polyethylene/terpolymer ethylene-propylene-diene monomer) due to chemical modification by maleic anhydride. This compound is generally used as a rubbery domain in polyamide resins. The chemical modification induces cross-linking the amount of which is clearly revealed by the variation of the elastic modulus and the residual deformation of the samples. The crystallization ratio of the polyethylene, measured by differential scanning calorimetry, is also related to the chemical modification. This effect may be due to an increase in the miscibility of the two constituents of the blend.
