“…However, PPO is incompatible with PA 6, and the simple melt blending of PPO and PA 6 generally shows a deterioration in impact and tensile properties 7. Such a reduction in properties is frequently a reflection of poor interfacial adhesion between dispersed phase and continuous matrix that leads to rapid initiation and growth of cracks 8, 9. Thus, it is reasonable to expect that some form of compatibilization would be required to prepare a useful alloy.…”

Blends of a poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO)/polyamide 6 (PA 6) alloy toughened with a novel polyolefin elastomer poly(ethylene-1-octene) (POE) were prepared via melt extrusion. In order to improve the compatibilization between POE and the PPO/PA 6 alloy, POE was grafted with maleic anhydride (MA), which could react with the amine group of PA 6. The Izod impact strength of the blends exhibited an optimum when the extent of MA grafting of POE was changed, which is an order of magnitude higher than that of the untoughened blends. The morphology revealed that the size of the POE particles decreased with an increasing MA grafting ratio of POE. Studies on the tensile properties and rheology of the blends were also carried out.

“…Blends of PPO and polyamides (PA) have improved the ductility and processability of PPO [6][7][8][9][10][11] . Polypropylene (PP) was chosen to be blended with PPO for automotive wire applications as the blends had very good processability and electrical properties, excellent chemical resistance, low density and moisture absorption [12] .…”

Morphology, mechanical behavior and other properties of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO) blends were studied. Large PPO particle sizes or delamination were found in binary iPP/PPO blends when no compatibilizers were added, while fracture toughness of the binary alloy was higher than that of both pure iPP and PPO. The addition of compatibilizers, triblock copolymers SEBS and SEPS, tremendously improved PPO particle dispersion and particle-matrix interfacial adhesion in iPP. The results of mechanical properties of the ternary iPP/PPO/ compatibilizer blends showed that the compatiblization of SEPS is better than that of SEBS.
