The aim of this work is to study the influence of different types of compatibilizing agents, different processing conditions, and the molecular weight of the two components on the properties of immiscible blends of polypropylene and nylon 6. Increasing the content of the functional group of the modified polypropylene and the content of nylon in the blend, the effectiveness of the compatibilization improves. The same effect is observed by decreasing the molecular weight of the two components, in particular, that of the polyamide. The influence of the processing conditions is slight provided no degradation takes place during processing. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
