A high‐density polyethylene with grafted maleic anhydride units has been investigated as a compatibilizer for high‐density polyethylene with polyamide 6. The material acts as an effective compatibilizer, causing a marked reduction in dispersed phase size as well as an increase in tensile strength and toughness. Compatibilizer also affects the glass‐transition temperature, crystallization kinetics, and amount of crystalline material for certain blend compositions. The addition of zinc cations, which are effective in increasing ethylene‐acid copolymer compatibilizer performance in low‐density polyethylene/polyamide blends, has little, if any, effect on compatibilizer performance in these high‐density polyethylene/polyamide blends.
