Blends of polypropylene copolymer (PP-cp) and poly(ethylene methyl acrylate) [poly(EMA)] copolymer blends were processed by blown film extrusion. The orientation and crystallinity of PP-cp matrix in the blend did not change significantly with the addition of EMA. The low machine direction and transverse direction tear strengths; which are observed for neat polypropylene blown films more than doubled at 6 wt % or higher content of EMA. The increase in tear properties was mainly attributed to a fine dispersion of EMA in the matrix with an average particle size of 100-500 nm and the formation of elongated domains. The dispersed nonrounded EMA domains; resulting from the blown-film process; enhance better energy dissipation mechanism with the formation of an extended plastic zone in the blend films as compared with that in pure PP-cp films. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals; Inc;
