Abstract
Relations between the morphology and the properties of polyamide-6 (PA)/iso tactic poly(propylene) (PP) blends were investigated. Poly(ethylene-co-viny l acetate) and poly(ethylene-co-ethyl acrylate) functionalized with maleic anhydride were used as compatibilizers. The morphology of the blends and in teraction between components were determined by simple thermodynamic analys is, differential scanning calorimetrie and electron microscopy. Fracture to ughness and life-time measurements on model sandwich samples confirmed the good compatibilization effect of the used materials.
