Popis: Blends of poly(ethylene-co-ethyl acrylate) (PEEA)/nylon 6 were found to have good mechanical properties when melt-mixed without added catalyst at optimum conditions. Characterization studies based on tensile testing, dynamic mechanical analysis, differential scanning calorimetry. Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy and morphological evidence using optical and scanning electron microscopy, support the view that an in situ compatibilization of the two components takes place via aminolysis reactions. Compositions studied covered the complete composition range and the best mechanical properties were obtained at low amounts of PEEA (∼ 15% w/w).
