Consequently, the current research is driven to the investigation of unmodified and radiation modified (with -irradiation doses up to 300 kGy) polypropylene (PP, Sabic 571 P) blends with relatively “new” elastomer type resin – ethylene-octene copolymer (EOC, Engage 8200), previously compounded in a twin-screw extruder in a rather wide wt.-to-wt. ratios – 10/90; 30/70; 50/50; 70/30; 90/10. Rheological, calorimetric and stress-strain properties of unmodified and radiation treated PP/EOC blends were investigated.
