Abstract: Poly(acylene ether nitriles) (PEN)/polyamide6(PA6) blends were prepared via melt mixing. The structures and crystallization behavior of the blends were characterized using SEM, DSC, and XRD. The mechanical and thermal properties were determined using EUTM and STA. It was found that PEN and PA6 were fairly compatible. Upon adding PA6, the processablity of PEN was improved. The tensile strength of the blends was 34 % higher than neat PEN.

Key words: poly(acylene ether nitriles), polyamide 6, crystall morphology, blending system
