Binary blends of polyamide 1010/poly(propylene) and polyamide 1010 (PA1010)/poly(propylene)‐ graft ‐(glycidyl methacrylate) (PP‐g‐GMA) were prepared. The epoxy groups in PP‐g‐GMA react with the amino end‐groups in PA1010, thus a PA1010‐ graft ‐PP copolymer is formed and acts as a compatibilizer between PA1010 and PP‐g‐GMA. The reaction was confirmed by electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) and attenuated total reflection (ATR)‐FTIR spectroscopic analysis, and also evaluated by the stability of the suspension obtained by dissolving the blends in formic acid and by the morphologies of the blends.
