Blends of Nylon 6 with very low density polyethylene (VLDPE) have been studied. The blends exhibit two phase morphology wherein VLDPE is dispersed in the form of spherical domains in Nylon 6 matrix. The water absorption of the blends decreased with increasing VLDPE content. The mechanical properties

β¦ Synopsis
LDPE/PA6 binary blends and LDPE/PA6/compatibilizer ternary blends were prepared in a Brabender extruder, equipped with a prototype static mixer. Compatibility of the components was estimated by rheological properties (viscosity and a melt flow index), and observations of the structure were made with the help of scanning electron microscopy and tensile strength. It was found that the blends' structure and properties are dependent on the recipe content of the polymer blends and the conditions of their manufacturing. Uniformity of the blends of the thermodynamically immiscible polymers was improved by using a prototype static mixer giving mechanical compatibilization and a compatibilizer giving chemical compatibilization. LDPE grafted with a maleic anhydride (LDPE-g-MAH) was used as a compatibilizer.

Blends of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) with very lowdensity polyethylene (VLDPE) have been studied. The blends are immiscible owing to the differences in the polarities of the component polymers. Thermal studies using a differential scanning calorimeter showed that the blending does not change t
A systematic electrical and mechanical study was carried out on styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), as a nonpolar rubber, and nitrile rubber (NBR), as a polar one blended with pure and waste polyethylene (PE), low and high density. The compatibility investigations, which were carried out by the dielectr
