Popis: Binary and ternary blends of polyamide-6/low-density polyethylene (PA-6/LDPE) and PA-6/LDPE/LDPE-g-butyl acrylate were prepared by melt mixing. The blends were characterized for their various mechanical properties and extent of water absorption. Morphology of the prepared blends was studied by scanning electron microscopy. It was observed that the use of LDPE-g-butyl acrylate as an interfacial agent improves the impact strength of PA-6 and decreases the water absorption remarkably.
