The modification of the polarity of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) through blending with oxidized paraffin wax (Fischer–Tropsch synthesis) was investigated. The oxidized paraffin wax significantly increased the polar component of the total surface free energy of polypropylene. Modified iPP also showed significantly higher adhesion to the polar substrate, as represented by a crosslinked epoxy‐based resin. The conservation of the good mechanical properties of the blends was observed up to 6 wt % wax.
