Abstract
The structure of intercrystallite domains in PP-HDPE blends of various composition was studied as dependent on the conditions of mixing. The elastic-strain mixing was found to lead to a more compact packing of the amorphous domains, as compared to the mixing iii melt. This result s in higher elastic modulus and ultimate strength, the effect being mo st pronounced in the blends with excess PP.
