Waste poly(ethylene terephthalate) [PET] and a polyolefinic elastomer (POE), Engage™ 8150, were melt blended in a co‐rotating twin screw extruder having initial distributive mixing followed by high shearing/stretching. Compositions having POE up to 10% with and without poly(ethylene‐ co ‐acrylic acid), as a compatibilizer were studied. The blends were characterized for mechanical, thermal and rheological properties as well as for morphological characteristics. Incorporation of POE improved the impact properties of PET very significantly. © 2003 Society of Chemical Industry
