Abstract
EVA carrying mercapto groups (EVASH) was employed on compatibilization of different polymer blends, like nylon-6/low density polyethylene an d natural rubber/EVA blends. The presence of EVASH improves both elong ation at break and ultimate tensile strength of nylon-6/LDPE blends. C oncerning natural rubber/EVA blends, the presence of EVASH promotes al so a better interaction between phases. The mechanical properties were improved, mainly after ageing experiments.
