The blending of polymers to achieve mixtures of intermediate properties has long been recognized as an efficient alternative to developing new polymers. This study was undertaken to explore the feasibility and efficiency of producing a blend comparable to commercial polyamides using less expensive polypropylene blended with polyamide and reinforced with glass fibers. The data taken on these blends indicate that several of the formulations would be materially comparable to, as well as cost competitive with, current polyamides.
