Abstract In this work, structure and properties of blends of nylon 6 with 10% linear low density polyethylene γ‐irradiated in air at different integrated doses are presented. More particularly, Molau tests, DSC, SEM, and mechanical tests have been performed. Results show that positive morphological changes with respect to the blend with unirradiated linear low density polyethylene are well evident, especially in the blend with polyethylene irradiated at 50 KGy. This blend also shows an enhancement of the elongation at break and of the impact properties.
