The thermomechanical degradation of compatibilized and uncompatibilized nylon 6/polypropylene blends has been followed to investigate the changes of structure, morphology and properties of these blends as a function of the type of compatibilizer and of the processing time. The degradation of the blends mostly depends on the type of functional group of the polypropylene. Indeed, the thermolability of an acrylic acid-functionalized polypropylene gives rise to a continuous decrease of the compatibilization efficiency and the properties of the blend with this polypropylene sample much worse than that observed for the blend with a maleic anhydride-functionalized polypropylene.
