“…As seen in this figure that, the specific wear rate values decreased with the addition of nanoclay filler into the PA-6/PP polymer blend. This result is in agreement with previous works [10,16] in the literature. The decrease in coefficient of friction and specific wear rate behaviors may be explained by interfacial strengthening of the nano level reinforcements.…”

“…However, nano particles show the agglomeration behavior due to smaller size and high surface energy . The size, distribution of the filler and the content plays a big role on the mechanical and tribological performance of the nano composites. Chow et al investigated the effect of nanoclay and maleated polypropylene on the mechanical properties and morphology of polyamide‐6/polypropylene/organoclay nanocomposites.…”
In this study, the tribological performance of polyamide‐6 (PA‐6), polypropylene (PP), polyamide‐6/polypropylene (PA‐6/PP) polymer blend, and nanoclay reinforced polyamide‐6/polypropylene composite are investigated. Nanoclay reinforced polymer composite is produced by melt compounding using co‐rotating twin screw extruder followed by injection moulding. Tribological studies are carried out using a pin‐on‐stainless steel disc configuration under dry sliding conditions. Tribological tests are carried out at sliding speed of 0.5 m s−1 and applied load values of 25, 50,100, 150 N. The friction coefficient and specific wear rate values are obtained and evaluated. The results show that the addition of nanoclay into the PA‐6/PP polymer blend reduced their coefficient of friction and specific wear rate values. The lowest coefficient of friction and specific wear rate values are for nanoclay reinforced PA‐6/PP blend. The highest coefficient of friction and specific wear rate values are for PA‐6 polymer.

“…This morphology was more effective at delaying thermal degradation, resulting in improved of thermal stability. Dayma et al [88] reported that the incorporation of nanoclay into a PA6/PP-g-MA binary blend matrix caused an enhancement in the wear resistance. The wear surface morphology studies indicated a transition in the wear failure mechanism from matrixdominated plastic-flow to shear-induced low-intensity ductile-chipping with the increase in nanoclay content, which plays a determining role in controlling the sliding wear performance.…”
“…Melt intercalation has been widely accepted and an economical method for industrial applications. The effect of various compatibilizers on polymer matrix or blends has been studied by numerous authors (Shanks and Cerezo 2012;Dayma et al 2011;Jiang et al 2003;Lu et al 2004, Zhu et al 2008. The HDPE and nitrile copolymer nanocomposites with organoclay were synthesized by solution blending method and found that greater dispersion was obtained in nitrile copolymer matrix (Jeon et al 1998).…”
Background: In the fabrication of polymer/clay nanocomposites, the compatibilizer plays a vital role in altering the properties of nanocomposite systems. The present work primarily deals with the development of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/clay nanocomposites containing different compatibilizers (PP-g-MA, PE-g-MA and PS-g-MA) with 5 wt.% nanoclay.
