High Performance PA 6/Cellulose Nanocomposites in the Interest of Industrial Scale Melt Processing.

摘要: On an industrial scale, it is a challenge to achieve cellulose based nanocomposites due dispersion issues and high process temperatures sensitivity. The current study describes methods develop mechanically strong thermally stable polyamide 6 (PA 6) nanofibers (CNF) composites capable of tolerating processing temperatures. With PA being very technical polymer matrix be reinforced with CNF, good can achieved speed kinetic mixer also shield the CNF from excess thermal degradation by implementing extremely short time. This paper presents industrially feasible method produce 6/CNF composition processed (GELIMAT®) followed compression molding obtain homogenous aimed at performance applications. was three different wt % formulations (5, 15 25 %) nanofibers. resulting exhibited significant increase in Young’s modulus ultimate strength content, owing effective melt surface charge density which necessitated dispersion. stability crystallinity respect for were examined TGA DSC analysis. Rheology studies indicated that viscosity increased composition. Overall, this work demonstrates viable manufacturing processes fabricate nanocomposites.
