LDPE/PA6 blends; compatibilization; microhardness; water absorption; thermal stability
Microhardness tests, water absorption and thermogravimetric measurements have been performed on blends of low density polyethylene (LDPE) with different molar mass and polyamide 6 (PA6) compatibilized with 2 pph poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid) (Escor 5001 by Exxon). The negative deviation of Vickers microhardness from the additivity has been interpreted by changes in the crystallinity of the blend components. The hardness values of the compatibilized blends that are lower than those of the corresponding uncompatibilized blends have been explained by the decrease of the degree of crystallinity of PA6 phase in the presence of Escor. The molar mass of LDPE almost does not influence on the hardness values. The lower water absorption of the compatibilized blends, caused by the formation of a copolymer between PA6 and the compatibilizer leads to microhardness values of the wet compatibilized blends higher than those of the corresponding uncompatibilized blends. The thermogravimetric measurements demonstrate that the thermal stability of blends increases in the presence of 2 pph Escor 5001. The results confirm the compatibilizing efficiency of Escor 5001 towards LDPE/PA6 blends in a wide composition range. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
