Modification of Nylon 6 , 6 1

Nylon 6, 6 is regarded as tough and ductile materials since it exhibit high tensile elongation to break and high drop weight impact strengths. However, under conditions of stress concentration such as in the presence of sharp notches or cracks, polyamides exhibit brittle failure. This property, evaluated as notched Izod or Charpy impact tests, indicates that unmodified polyamides exhibit relati...

Morphology and Melt Rheology of Nylon 11/Clay Nanocomposites

Nylon 11 (PA11)/clay nanocomposites have been prepared by melt-blending, followed by melt-extrusion through a capillary. Transmission electron microscopy shows that the exfoliated clay morphology is dominant for low nanofiller content, while the intercalated one is prevailing for high filler loading. Melt rheological properties of PA11 nanocomposites have been studied in both linear and nonline...
