Effect of clay modification on the morphological,mechanical, and thermal properties of polyamide 6/polypropylene/montmorillonite nanocomposites

Polyamide 6/polypropylene (PA6/PP = 70/30 parts) blends containing 4 phr (parts per hundred resin) of organophilic montmorillonite (OMMT) were prepared by melt compounding. The sodium montmorillonite (Na‐MMT) was modified using three different types of alkyl ammonium salts, namely dodecylamine, 12‐aminolauric acid, and stearylamine. The effect of clay modification on the morphological and mechanical properties of PA6/PP nanocomposites was investigated using x‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), tensile, flexural, and impact tests. The thermal properties of PA6/PP nanocomposites were characterized using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and heat distortion temperature (HDT). XRD and TEM results indicated the formation of exfoliated structure for the PA6/PP nanocomposites prepared using stearylamine modified montmorillonite. On the other hand, a mixture of intercalated and exfoliated structures was found for the PA6/PP nanocomposites prepared using 12‐aminolauric acid and dodecylamine modified montmorillonite. Incorporation of OMMT increased the stiffness but decreased the ductility and toughness of PA6/PP blend. The PA6/PP nanocomposite containing stearylamine modified montmorillonite showed the highest tensile, flexural, and thermal properties among all nanocomposites. This could be attributed to better exfoliated structure in the PA6/PP nanocomposite containing stearylamine modified montmorillonite. The storage modulus and HDT of PA6/PP blend were increased significantly with the incorporation of both Na‐MMT and OMMT. The highest value in both storage modulus and HDT was found in the PA6/PP nanocomposite containing stearylamine modified montmorillonite due to its better exfoliated structure. POLYM.

Thermal–oxidative degradation and accelerated aging behavior of polyamide 6/epoxy resin‐modified montmorillonite nanocomposites

Polyamide 6 (PA6) nanocomposites based on epoxy resin‐modified montmorillonite (EP‐MMT) were prepared by melt processing using a typical twin‐screw extruder. X‐ray diffraction combined with transmission electron microscopy was applied to elucidate the structure and morphology of PA6/EP‐MMT nanocomposites, suggesting a nearly exfoliated structure in the nanocomposite with 2 wt % EP‐MMT (PA6/2EP‐MMT) and a partial exfoliated‐partial intercalated structure in PA6/4 wt %EP‐MMT nanocomposite (PA6/4EP‐MMT). The thermogravimetric analysis under air atmosphere was conducted to characterize the thermal–oxidative degradation behavior of the material, and the result indicated that the presence of EP‐MMT could inhibit the thermal‐oxidative degradation of PA6 effectively. Accelerated heat aging in an air circulating oven at 150°C was applied to assess the thermal–oxidative stability of PA6 nanocomposites through investigation of reduced viscosity, tensile properties, and chemical structure at various time intervals. The results indicated that the incorporation of EP‐MMT effectively enhanced the thermal–oxidative stability of PA6, resulting in the high retention of reduced viscosity and tensile strength, and the low ratio of terminal carboxyl group to amino group. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Enhanced mechanical properties and fire retardancy of polyamide 6 nanocomposites based on interdigitated crystalline montmorillonite–melamine cyanurate

Polyamide 6 (PA6)–montmorillonite (MMT)–melamine cyanurate (MCA) nanocomposites were prepared by the incorporation of interdigitated crystalline MMT–MCA. Their morphologies were assessed by X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, thermal stability measurement by thermogravimetric analysis, mechanical properties measurement by tensile tests, and fire retardancy measurement by limiting oxygen index testing and vertical burning testing (UL‐94). The results indicate that MMT–MCA was homogeneously nanodispersed in PA6. Compared with PA6–MCA, the PA6–MMT–MCA nanocomposites showed enhanced thermal stability. The mechanical properties and fire retardancy show that the PA6–MMT–MCA nanocomposites with 5 wt % total loading of MMT–MCA reached UL‐94 V‐2 rating (3.2 mm) and significantly increased the tensile strength of PA6 up to 24.8 % with only 1 wt % MMT in PA6. Through the control the weight ratio of MMT and MCA in MMT–MCA, the Young's modulus of PA6 could be adjusted in a very wide range (300–1100 MPa) because of the dual role of the rigid MMT and nonrigid MCA layers. The reinforced mechanism of the mechanical properties was also investigated. Consequently, the PA6–MMT–MCA nanocomposites with a good nanodispersing ability, improved thermal stability, excellent mechanical properties, and good flame retardancy were obtained and could provide broad prospects for wider applications for PA6 materials. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On the structure‐properties relationship in montmorillonite‐filled polyamide 6 nanocomposites

Polyamide 6/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were prepared by melt compounding method comprising 1–7.5 wt % of Nanomer I.24 TL or 5 and 10 wt % of Cloisite 15A organically modified nanoclays. The composite samples were characterized by synchrotron X‐ray, thermal and FT‐IR spectroscopy methods looking for changes in the micro‐ and nanostructure of both PA6 matrix and MMT reinforcement as a function of the clay content and type. These data were discussed in conjunction with the mechanical properties of the respective nanocomposites. Generally, the Young's modulus was found to increase proportionally to the clay content being the highest in samples with strong aggregation of MMT at micron length scale. The tensile strength passed through a maximum at 2.5 wt % clay load presenting a homogeneous microstructure with almost no agglomeration. Increasing the amount of MMT produced less crystalline PA6 matrices, richer in γ‐PA6 polymorph and resulted in larger long spacings of PA6 due to expansion of both crystalline and amorphous domains. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
