Abstract Blends of gamma irradiated and unirradiated low density polyethylene and polyamide 6 were made in order to study possible modifications induced by this irradiation. Results indicate that blends with gamma irradiated polyethylene have structure and properties significantly different with respect to blends made with the unirradiated one. This difference has been ascribed to the formation of functionalized groups in the polyethylene chains, which interact with polyamide.
