| Abstract: | The effect of injection molding conditions and reactive compatibilization on the morphology of maleic anhydryde‐modified poly(phenylene oxide)/polyamide‐6 blends was investigated. The injection flow rate primarily influenced the position of the subskin layer, and the injection temperature affected the aspect ratio of the dispersed phase. A reduction of the sue of the dispersed phase occured during the converging flow in the barrel‐to‐sprue zone. The reactive compatibilization reduced the flow induced deformation, the coalescence and the breakup of particles and improved the dispersion of the minor phase. |
