Abstract

The compatibilization of recycled polypropylene in blends with polyamide 6 prepared via twin screw extruder was investigated. Reactive compatibilization between the recycled polypropylene and polyamide 6 was studied by “Molau test” and FTIR, the results showed the formation of copolymers during blending. Morphology analysis revealed the diameter of recycled polypropylene dispersed in polyamide 6 matrix decreased markedly and the boundary was obscure compared with the uncompatibilized blends by scanning electron microscopy. Moreover, enhanced interfacial adhesion between the blends components was also investigated by the tensile behavior and dynamical mechanical analysis.
