Poly(trimethylene terephthalate)/polyethylene (9:95) blends (PTT/PE-LD) were prepd. by extrusion optionally in presence of polyethylene wax (1-5% by mass) and studied for mech., thermal and rheolog. properties. The addn. of PTT to PE-LD resulted in improving its properties. The addn. of polyethylene wax (5% by mass) to the PTT/PE-LD blends resulted in homogenization of their macrostructure and improving their mech. properties.
