What is Effect of the type of nylon chain-end on the compatibilization of PP/PP-GMA/nylon 6 blends about?

## Abstract Polyamide and polypropylene (PP) are two important classes of commercial polymers; however, their direct mixing leads to incompatible blends with poor properties. Polypropylene functionalized with glycidyl methacrylate (PP‐GMA) was used as a compatibilizer in blends of PP and nylon 6, because of the possible reaction of NH~2~ and COOH groups with the epoxide group of GMA. Two types of nylon 6 with different ratios between NH~2~ and COOH groups were used. The one with higher concentration of COOH groups was less compatible with PP in a binary blend. When PP‐GMA was used as a compatibilizer, a better dispersion of nylon in the PP matrix was obtained together with better mechanical properties for both nylons used in this work. © 2001 Society of Chemical Industry
