Nylon-6 Nanocomposites, Study of the Influence of the Nanofiller Nature on Morphology and Material Properties

摘要

In this article we investigated the influence of various nanofilllers' aspect ratio, chemical nature, and organic modification on some selected nylon-6 properties, such as crystallinity, thermal and mechanical resistance, and fire behavior. Materials were prepared by twin-screw extrusion and characterized by means of scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, tensile tests, and cone calorimeter. Fillers characteristics were found to influence at different extents the material final properties.
