    Abstract

    Compatibilized polypropylene (PP)/polyamide (PA6) blends with and without β nucleating agent (β-NA) are prepared, and are designated as Blend-0.3 and Blend-0, respectively. The melting and crystallization characteristic of the blends crystallized under different cooling rates and different crystallization temperatures are studied. It is observed that high β-PP content can be developed in Blend-0.3 only at slow cooling rates (
