Research into High Performance Zeolite/Monomer Casting Nylon 6 (MCPA6) Composites

Abstract:

Zeolite / MC nylon 6 composites were prepared , followed by morphology and properties characterization of composites. The results demonstrated that a large number of pearlitic structures appeared at the interphase between the organic phases and the inorganic phases, indicating that caprolactam had happened anionic in-situ polymerization within the zeolite. The zeolite played a role of molecular rivet in zeolite / MCPA6 composites. The experimental results also showed that the composites performances were largely improved compared with pure MCPA6. When zeolite was 1 Phr, the impact strength of the composite was increased by 58%, temperature of thermal decomposition was rised by 92.9 °C. When zeolite reached 5 Phr, the composite shrinkage rate was reduced by 33%.
