The effect of composition on morphological, thermal, and mechanical properties of polypropylene/nylon‐6/polypropylene‐g‐butyl acrylate blends

Abstract

Abstract The effect of concentration of polypropylene grafted with butyl acrylate (PP‐g‐BA) compatibilizer on thermal, morphological, and mechanical properties of polypropylene/nylon‐6 blends has been studied. It was observed that blends with 4.8 wt% concentration of PP‐g‐BA exhibited superior mechanical and morphological properties at all the compositions of PP/Ny‐6. Attempts were made to correlate the experimental data for tensile modulus and strength with existing mathematical models.
