Polymer blends are capable of providing materials which extend the useful properties beyond the
range that can be obtained from single polymer equivalents. Blends of Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-
Styrene (ABS) and Nylon 66 were prepared in different ratios in presence of styrene – meleic
anhydride copolymer as a compatibilizer by melt blending technique which was carried out using
an extruder which was followed by injection moulding process. Nylon 66 at different weight ratios
was incorporated into the blends to study the effects of blend ratio on the properties of the blend.
This study focused upon tensile, flexural, and impact properties of ABS – Nylon 66 polymer
blends.
