N2 - This research was aimed to study various PVC/LDPE blends in order to valorize the PVC and LDPE wastes by blending them. Indeed, this homopolymers constitute an important part of the plastic industry production in the world. The polymer blends were prepared by melt blending followed by extrusion. The obtained results showed that the mechanical properties were weak and an improvement of these properties occurs when the morphology evolves from matrix/droplets towards co-continued structure. The morphology is greatly related to the viscosity/volume ratio of each blend component. The increase of PVC onset first step degradation temperature Td1 as function of of the increase of LDPE concentration is assigned to macromolecular cross recombination reactions between PVC and LDPE radicals that occur during the heating. This study had allowed getting a composition blend of interesting mechanical and thermal properties despite the no use of a compatibilizer.
