Nylon-6/rubber blends: 6. Notched tensile impact testing of nylon-6/(ethylene-propylene rubber) blends

Fracture Toughness of Blends of Nylon 6 with Maleated Elastomers

Nylon-6/rubber blends: 8. Influence of the molecular weight of the matrix on the impact behaviour

Blends of nylon-6 with polybutadiene were prepared with comparable morphology and different molecular weights of the matrix. These specimens were tested using the notched Izod impact test and the notched tensile impact test. An increase in molecular weight resulted in a shift of the brittle-to-tough transition temperature of 40°C to lower temperatures. In the notched tensile impact tests, espec...

Solid-state NMR Analysis of Blends of Nylon 6 and Zinc Salts of Sulfonated Polystyrene Ionomers

Solid-state NMR was used to establish the specific intermolecular interactions responsible for the miscibility of blends of nylon 6 (PA6) and the zinc salt of lightly sulfonated polystyrene (Zn-SPS) and to characterize the scale of molecular mixing. l 3 C CPIMAS spectroscopy identified the interpolymer interaction as a complex between the Zn2+ cation of the ionomer and the amide nitrogen. Measu...

A novel wood flour-filled composite based on microfibrillar high-density polyethylene (HDPE)/Nylon-6 blends.

A novel wood flour (WF)-filled composite based on the microfibrillar high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and Nylon-6 co-blend, in which both in situ formed Nylon-6 microfibrils and WF acted as reinforcing elements, was successfully developed using a two-step extrusion method. At the 30wt.% WF loading level, WF-filled composite based on the microfibrillized HDPE/Nylon-6 blend exhibited higher stren...

Tensile and impact behavior of polypropylene/low density polyethylene blends

Blends of polypropylene (PP) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) may contribute to make recycling more economically attractive. The aim of this work was to make PP/LDPE blends (0/100, 25/75, 50/50, 75/25 and 100/0 w/w) via injection molding carried out under various injection temperatures and to evaluate their tensile and impact properties. The blends yielded tensile stress–strain curves very d...
