The compatibility of nylon 11/polyethylene (PE) alloys on addition of reactive maleated ethylene‐propylene‐diene copolymer (EPDM‐graft‐MAH) was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, morphological observations and rheology. The decrease in the differential volume of the melting temperature of nylon 11 and PE with increasing compatibilizer suggests that the addition of EPDM‐graft‐MAH affects the crystalline behavior of nylon 11 and PE. The decreased particle size of the dispersed phase also confirmed the improvement in the compatibility. The rheological behavior revealed that the addition of the compatibilizer enhanced the apparent viscosity of the melting blends, which resulted from the increasing interaction between the chains due to the improvement in compatibility of nylon 11 and PE.
