Abstract: This study focuses on the possibility of improving performance properties of polyamide-6 (PA6) nanocomposite films for packaging application using nanoclay masterbatch. Different concentrations of nanoclay in PA6 were prepared through melt-mixing of particulate nanoclay and nanoclay masterbatches in a twin screw compounder, then film samples were molded using a hot press. Oxygen barrier properties were then measured and interpreted on the basis of different theoretical approaches. Also, a correlation between m… Show more

“…In general, the crystallinity of nylon‐based nanocomposite is controlled by the type of nylon matrix, molecular weight, clay concentration, and level of clay exfoliation . The crystallinity of the PA6/clay film is in agreement with those reported by Fasihi et al . For the precursor and stretched MXD6 and MXD6/clay films, the level of crystallinity is quite low because of very long relaxation time of the MXD6 chains, which was discussed in details in our previous study .…”

“…A similar observation was also reported by Picard et al . The difference between the experimental and theoretical oxygen permeabilities obtained from the Bharadwaj model could be attributed to the fact that in this model, the orientation distribution of silicate layers is not considered .…”

“…Also, the researchers have related the substantial improvement of mechanical properties in the polymer nanocomposites to formation of a strong interphase between polymer and nanoparticles [16][17][18][19]. The influence of interface/interphase properties on the final performance of nanocomposites has paid much attention in the recent years.…”

“…Their properties are achieved by well dispersed and exfoliated clay in the polymer matrix (Fasihi and Abolghasemi, 2012;Nazari et al, 2012). Generally, CPN have attracted much interest in both industrial and academic communities.…”
