Popis: The effect of compatibilization on the reciprocating frictional behavior of a polyamide 66 (PA66)/ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) blend was investigated. The influence of the amount of added maleic anhydride–grafted polyethylene (MAH-g-HDPE) on the phase morphology, compatibility, and viscoelasticity was explored using scanning electric microscopy (SEM), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and capillary rheometry. In addition, the effect of MAH-g-HDPE on the reciprocating friction and wear performance of the PA66/UHMWPE blend was tested. The worn surface, transfer film, and wear debris were analyzed using SEM, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results showed that the maleic anhydride groups in the MAH-g-HDPE improved the compatibility of PA66 and UHMWPE, and the addition of MAH-g-HDPE enhanced the interface bonding strength and lowered the polar difference between PA and UHMWPE. Therefore, the improved compatibility enh...
