In the polymer industry the blends have become an interesting alternative to the technological field, therefore, added different properties in a shorter period of polymers developing. The high consumption and low cost of polyolefins, PP and PE, were responsible for the growing interest in many researches, aimed to improve the limitations of the PP. In addition, new needs for future interests emerged elimination of matter, since these two components are the main constituents of domestic waste and plastics recycling. The immiscibility of PP and PE has been discussed, according to the method used, the system may or may not be homogeneous. The γ radiation results in the formation of very reactive intermediate elements, which, applied to the blend compatibility component influences some properties and benefits. The objective of this study was characterize the blends of PP/LDPE and PP/HDPE with different concentrations, investigating the best combination of polymers before and after γ radiation. The material was irradiated with doses of 30kGy, 50kGy, 100kGy and 200kGy, at a fixed rate of 11.6 kGy/h and subsequently performed the tests of mechanical and thermomechanical resistance in order to observe its effects. It concluded that the changes were directly related to the factors: dose and concentration. For each type of combined, there was a specific result. The ionizing radiation change the compatibility of the components, promoting some properties of the blends, showing strong and economical materials.
