Various methods were used to study the effects of co-crosslinking reaction between polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene on the properties of blends. The compatibility of blend was investigated by dynamic mechanical analysis, scanning electron micrographs, differential scanning calorimetry, and stress-strain. Evidence was found for the two-phase nature of the blends. The compatibility of blend was improved when crosslinking reaction took place in blend systems, and blends exhibited high impact strength, tensile strength and elongation at break. This paper also discusses the relationships between morphologies and mechanical properties of blends.
