In this study, the effects of the surface chemical modification of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) nanoparticles and their addition into polyamide 11 (PA11) on the mechanical, dynamic-mechanical, and tribological properties of PA11/TiO 2 nanocomposites were investigated. To improve the interfacial adhesion between the nanoparticles and the polymeric matrix, the surface of TiO 2 nanoparticles was modified with 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (ATPMS). Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TG) were used to evaluate the efficiency of the surface chemical modification of TiO 2 nanoxide. PA11/TiO 2 nanocomposites with 2 and 4 wt% of TiO 2 were prepared in an internal mixer. The interfacial adhesion between the matrix and the TiO 2 was evaluated by dynamic-mechanical analysis (DMA), and the dispersion of nanoparticles was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The NMR spectrum of the modified TiO 2 exhibited peaks in the region between 255 ppm and 270 ppm, indicating disubstituted and trisubstituted chemical structures between alkoxysilano structures and TiO 2 . Nanocomposites with modified TiO 2 exhibited the lowest tan d peak values, which provide evidence that the chemical modification of the TiO 2 facilitated energy dissipation at the interface of TiO 2 with the PA11 matrix. Surface modification of the TiO 2 nanoparticles with ATPMS caused a greater reduction of the mass loss by abrasion when compared with non-
