Characterization of Blend PA6 +EPDM (60/40) by Tensile Tests

This paper presents a characterization of PA6 and the blend PA6+EPDM (60/40) by tensile tests in order to evaluate several mechanical properties for impact resistance applications. Results were found be dependend on test rate (10 mm/min, 250 mm/min 1000 mm/mm). SEM investigation point out homogenous structure. The has better value energy at break, higher speed: v=250 this characteristic break 29.7 J 76.3 J. At charcateristic 20 J, but blend, it is almost insensitive two speeds (76.3 72.4 respectively) as compared neat polymer that decreases feature when thr spee increases. lowest teste speed, values materials study are close (90.2 87.7 blend). results from pointed formulated recommended
