Two samples have been prepared to study the effect of interchain crosslinking on the heat shrinkability of the blends. In the first sample low‐density poly(ethylene) is blended with ethylene acrylic rubber while in the second one glycidyl acrylate‐grafted low‐density poly(ethylene) is blended with ethylene acrylic rubber. It is revealed that interchain crosslinking in the glycidyl acrylate grafted low‐density poly(ethylene) and ethylene acrylic rubber improves the heat shrinkability in the second sample.
