This study investigates the addition of ground tire rubber (GTR) into virgin polyamide 6 (PA6) to produce thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) blends. In particular, a wide range GTR concentration (0–100% wt.) was possible by using simple dry blending technique materials in powder form followed compression molding. The molded samples were characterized terms morphological (scanning electron microscopy...

a new method was used to prepare abs/pa6 blends by in situ polymerization and compatibilization method. in this process, ε-caprolactam monomer was polymerized in presence of abs via activated anionic polymerization to produce pa6. the main ingredients of the reaction mixture included: monomer ()ε-caprolactam), catalyst na-caprolactamate), microactivator hdi)( and macro-activator sma)(. then, in...

In this study, a commercial chain extender (Polyad PR 002) in concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5% w/w was used as compatibilizer post-consumed PET/PA6 blends (25/75, 50/50 e 75/25) processed laboratory mixer. The degradation rate, phase miscibility, chemical interaction, crystallization, melting behavior, well the thermal stability mixtures, were analyzed by torque rheometry, scanning electron...

nanocomposites based on polyamide 6/polypropylene  )pa6/pp 67/33) blend containing 2.5 to 10 phr of nano-caco3  and 5 phr of maleated polypropylene )pp-g-mah) as compatibilizer were prepared by melt compounding followed by injection molding. the mechanical properties, water absorption, as well as shrinkage behavior were characterized and the morphology was studied using scanning electron micros...

nanocomposites based on polyamide 6 (pa6) and poly(ethylene-co-1-butene)-graft-maleic anhydride (eb-g-mah) blends have been prepared via melt mixing. the effect of blend ratio and organoclay concentration onthe crystallization and melting behavior of specimens were studied. three types of commercial organo-modifiedclay (cloisite 30b, cloisite 15a and cloisite 20a) were employed to assess the im...

The main objective of this work is the preparation nano-fibrous mats (NFM) from polyamide 6 (PA6) reinforced and functionalized by renewable proteinic waste examining their potential use for sorption heavy metal ions dyes wastewater textile plants. Two biopolymers; namely keratin (from wool combing) sericin degumming natural silk) were extracted regenerated. NFM prepared electro-spinning PA6/ b...
