Data on mechanical properties of blends of low density polyethylene with nylon-6 as a function of the composition are presented, They suggest that these blends are immiscible in the solid state. However both a theoretical model and scanning electron microscopy seem to indicate some degree of interac

โฆ Synopsis
A~tract--Mechanical properties of blends of nylon-6 with a liquid crystal copolyesteramide (LCP) are presented. The improvement of the elastic modulus increases with increasing the draw ratio. Fibrils of LCP are evident when the draw ratio >40. The moduli are lower than those predicted by the theory of short-fibre oriented composites probably because of poor adhesion between the two phases and to incomplete fibrilation of the LCP particles.
