Effects of a maleated triblock copolymer of styrene–(ethylene‐ co ‐butene)–styrene (SEBS‐ g ‐MA) on compatibilization and mechanical properties of nylon‐12,12/nylon‐6 blends were investigated. The results showed that addition of SEBS‐ g ‐MA could improve the compatibility between nylon‐12,12 and nylon‐6. Nylon‐12,12 could disperse very well in nylon‐6 matrix, although the dispersion of nylon‐6 was poor when nylon‐6 was the dispersed phase. At a fixed nylon‐12,12/nylon‐6 ratio of 30/70, supertoughness was achieved with addition of 15% SEBS‐ g ‐MA in weight. Scanning electron microscopy of the impact‐fractured surface indicated that cavitation and matrix shear yielding were the predominant mechanisms of impact energy dissipation. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
