On Drawing Behavior of Nylon 6 Filament

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...

Fracture Behavior of Nylon Hybrid Composites

Drying kinetics of granular Nylon-6

In this study, the drying kinetics of granular nylon-6 has been investigated. Single particle drying experiments were carried out in a magnetic suspension balance (MSB) using dry air as drying agent. The comparison of measured and simulated data using Vrentas-Duda diffusion model shows a satisfactory prediction of mean particle moisture content and drying rates. The Flory-Huggins model predicts...
