Abstract

Incorporation of high aspect ratio nanoparticles can significantly increase mechanical properties such as elastic modulus and tensile strength, and the functionality of the obtained nanocomposites. In this work, organically modified montmorillonite (Closite 30B) is dispersed and simultaneously oriented in Nylon-6 matrix using a high shear thin film machine. Organically modified montmorillonite was loaded into Nylon-6 with percentage range of 1-5. Produced Nylon-6/montmorillonite nanocomposite material’s properties were analyzed using TEM, XRD, and DSC apparatuses, MTS 810 machine as well as their gas permeability is tested. The characterization results showed that high degree of dispersion and orientation, tensile modulus was increased by approximately 66% compared to the pure Nylon-6, high degree of crystallinity; gas permeability was decreased by approximately 3.5 times than neat nylon-6. Additionally, we have recovered new αcrystal form in the nanocomposite materials with high degree of dispersed and oriented oMMT.
