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...

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...

Crystalline and Amorphous Orientation of Polypropylene / Nylon 6 Blend Filaments

N6) made with or without PP-g-MAH as compatibilizer are investigated. The blend filaments produced at the take-up speeds of 300 and 800 m/min were drawn with draw ratio of 3.5 and 2, respectively. Effects of blending of N6 with PP on birefringence , crystalline, and amorphous orientation factors of the composite filaments are studied. The amorphous orientation factor, fam of PP was found to inc...
