The alloy of Nylon 6/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) was used for a compatibilizer to generate the maleic anhydride (ABS-g-MAH), in which the proportion of PA6/ABS is 90/10. The results of the mechanical tests show that when the content of ABS-g-MAH is 20 %, the impact strength of the alloy with the compatibilizer increased by around 41%, compared with that of the PA6/ABS alloy; Besides, the tensile strength has been significantly improved. Furthermore, in accordance with the dynamic mechanical analysis, a relaxation temperature of Nylon 6 has raised from 70 ℃ to 110 ℃with the addition of ABS and ABS-g-MAH; moreover, and the obvious relaxations of β and 7 occur at about 60 ℃ and - 60 ℃, respec- tively. It can be seen from the scanning electron microscope (SEM) photographs that the compatibility has been improved through the addition of ABS-g-MAH. The water absorption of Nylon 6 has also been improved by the addition of ABS and ABS-g-MAH. When the content of ABS-g-MAH is 10%, the water absorption of the alloy will fall by 50%.
