The interface behavior of polyamide 1010 (PA1010) and polypropylene (PP) was studied. In orderto improve their interfacial adhesion, functional PP was prepared by means of grafting glycidyl methacrylate(GMA) on PP main chains and used instead of plain PP. Several technological characterizations wereperformed here on their interfaces. ESCA was used to confirm that some kind of reaction occurred betweenend groups of PA1010 and epoxy species of PP-g-GMA. The peel test was adopted to measure interfacialadhesion. It was found that the fracture energy of interfaces between PA1010 and PP-g-GMA wasdramatically increased with the content of GMA. Their interfaces were observed as being blurred by usingSEM and TEM and a crack that could be seen in the case of the interfaces of the PA1010 and the plain PPdisappeared.
