Prediction and Verification of Compatibility of MMT Nanofiller in PA6 Matrix

Article Preview

Abstract:

This contribution deals about study of mechanical properties and compatibility between PA6 polymer as matrix and modified and unmodified montmorillonite clay nanofiller Cloisite. For this purposes in the first part of study the Hamaker constants, Adhesion work and B parameter for systems PA6/Cloisite 30B, PA6/Cloisite 93A and Pa6/Cloisite Na+ were calculated and compared. The second part of article consists of mechanical tests (tensile test, impact test) of moulded samples and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) study of these samples.
