The crystallization behaviour of low density polyethylene/nylon 6 blends has been investigated as a function of the composition. The melting points of the polymers are almost uninfluenced by the presence of the other homopolymers except for blends with a nylon content of 75–90%. Blends with 10% nylon content do not exhibit the crystallization peak during the cooling step probably because of the low concentration and high viscosity of the low density polyethylene matrix. The crystallinity degree of the polyethylene is independent of the composition, while some variations are shown by the polyamide. Finally the rate of nucleation is strongly affected by the composition, in particular for the nylon phase.
