In the present work, gamma irradiation is used for the in situ compatibilisation of blends of recycled high density polyethylene (rHDPE) and ground tyre rubber (GTR) powder. The expected compatibilisation mechanism involves the formation of free radicals, leading to chain scission within rubber particles, crosslinking of polyethylene matrix and co-crosslinking between the two blend components at the interface. While uncompatibilised rHDPE/GTR blends show poor mechanical properties, especially for elongation at break and Charpy impact strength, irradiation leads to a significant increase of these mechanical performances. Such behaviour is attributed to the development of an adhesion between GTR particles and the surrounding thermoplastic matrix. This conclusion is supported by in situ scanning electron microscopy observations during microtensile tests, showing strong elongation of GTR particles upon deformation of irradiated blends.
