Abstract:

Nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide66/chitosan composite (n-HA/PA66/CS) was prepared by a co-precipitation method, and was characterized by TG/DTG, TEM, IR, XRD and Universal mechanical testing machine. TEM test showed that some rod like crystals were formed and distributed uniformly into polymer matrix, with a size of about Φ30nm×80nm. IR and XRD analysis showed that some chemical bonds and electrostatic interaction existed between n-HA and polymers. TG/DTG curves indicated that the composites possessed a talent of high heat-resistance. The compressive strength of composite changed with different content of three compounds, the maximum compressive strength of composite (70MPa) could be acquired.
