Due to the growing need for carbon neutrality, interest in eco-friendly polymers is increasing. Poly(1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene isosorbide terephthalate) (PEICT) is a copolyester containing isosorbide derived from biomass, and has the characteristics of transparency, chemical resistance and impact resistance. Recently, many studies have been reported on creating a blend using PEICT. In this study, polyamide 6 and PEICT blends were prepared by melt processing. The interfacial adhesion between the two polymers was improved by the introduction of a reactive compatibilizer having epoxy functional group. The increased miscibility of blend improved physical properties of the polyamide 6, and the improvement was discussed by chemical structural and rheological analysis.
