The Effect of Silane Coupling Agents on a Composite Polyamide-6/Talc

Abstract: This paper evaluates the effect of the addition of silane agents on the mechanical properties (tensile strength, hardness and flexibility) of the composite polyamide-6/talc. For this purpose, 30% and 40% of a talc with and without the addition of silane agents were incorporated into polyamide-6. Three kinds of silane agents were used, resulting in nine formulations. Comparing the experimental results, it is concluded that the silane agents improve the mechanical properties of the composite material

“…The incorporation of fillers in polymer is considering on the reduction of the water uptake and the moisture absorption of polymers [5][6][7]. Thumsorn et al [5] revealed that moisture contents of RPET and RPP blends decreased with adding CaCO 3 .…”

“…However, due to their crack sensitivity, relatively lower HDT, high water absorption, dimensional instability, and relatively high price, the usage of polyamides has been prevented in structural components. Numerous studies have been conducted to use them as matrix for composites by adding inorganic fillers such as glass beads , kaolin , wollastonite , mica , and talc . Among them, wollastonite, an anisotropic, industrially important mineral particulate filler of the pyroxene mineral group having fibrous or rod‐like structure, results in better mechanical properties when oriented .…”

“…Tem a desvantagem de alterar o acabamento superficial da peça. O talco é adicionado aos termoplásticos por simples mistura mecânica, pois existem agentes de ligação (silanos) que servem como ponte entre o talco e o polímero, melhorando muito o desempenho do produto acabado [4][5][6][7][8] .…”
