Blends consisting of a polyamide 66 (PA, Depont Zytel 1010) matrix (75 wt.%) and a dispersed isotactic polypropylene (PP) phase were prepared by extrusion with anhydride-grafted isotactic polypropylene compatibilizers, one of high anhydride content (HAC, 2.7 wt.% grafted maleic anhydride) and one of...
