Effects of electron beam irradiation on binary polyamide-6 blends with metallocene copolymers

The effect of electron beam irradiation on thermal and mechanical properties, and SEM morphology of polyamide-6 (PA-6) blends with grafted copolymers was investigated. High toughness materials were obtained with ethylene-polypropylene-diene grafted copolymers without significant variations in their thermal properties and Izod impact strength at room temperature and −30 °C with the irradiation doses used.
