Impact fracture behaviour of nylon 6-based ternary nanocomposites

Organoclay localization in polyamide 6/ethylene-butene copolymer grafted maleic anhydride blends: the effect of different types of organoclay

“…As seen, three levels of EB-g-MAH (10, 20 and 30 wt%) and organoclay (0, 2 and 5 phr) were chosen. The blend ratios were chosen based on prior studies on rubber toughened polyamides to produce the best mechanical properties, particularly fracture toughness [24]. Samples were then compression molded in a press machine (Toyoseiki, Japan) at 240°C and 10 MPa to prepare a 1 mm thickness sheet.…”

“…Their results showed that impact strength increases with rubber content, but for samples containing organoclay the brittle to ductile transition occurs at higher rubber content with lowered impact strength comparing to specimens without organoclay. Nanocomposites based on polyamide 6/maleic anhydride grafted ethylene-octene copolymer/organoclay were prepared by other researchers to achieve a high stiffness/strength material and then their mechanical properties have been verified [24,25].…”

Effect of chain extender and terpolymers on tensile and fracture properties of polyamide 6

“…This observation also proved that the main reason behind toughness enhancement is chain enhancement induced by CBC. Toughness achievement for blends with no CBC can be attributed to cavitation between elastomeric phase with matrix and subsequent matrix shear yielding [40]. Especially with the presence of CBC, compatibilizing effect of maleic anhydride is also conspicuous on the w e values of blends by comparing to Lotader® 4700 with Lotader® AX8900 [25].…”

Cure behaviors and mechanical properties of carbon fiber-reinforced nylon6/epoxy blended matrix composites

“…In these matrices, nylon and epoxy resin can react with each other. As the binder polymer of epoxy M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 3 resins, nylon polymer enjoys some advantages, such as high peel strength, high adhesive force and outstanding low-temperature properties [25][26][27].…”
