Poly(2,6‐dimethyl‐ p ‐phenylene) oxides (PPO) grafted with nylon 6 were prepared by first quantitatively brominating the PPO, followed by reacting the brominated products with nylon 6 of different molecular weights. The molecular weights of PPOs were kept intact during bromination. These graft copolymers with well‐defined structures were used as compatibilizers for nylon 6/PPO blends. Some compatibilization phenomena were observed, as indicated by the mechanical properties of the blends. The best compatibilization was achieved when the graft copolymer is most block‐copolymer‐like. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
