Abstract

A straightforward condensation technique was used to prepare new poly(thiourea-amide) (PTA), in this attempt. Halloysite silica nanotubes (SiNTs) were prepared and utilized as fillers to produce novel organic-inorganic hybrid materials. Fine compatibility in PTA/SiNTs was confirmed by FESEM; where halloysite filler render unique uniformly and spherically pact morphology. SiNTs loading in polyamide produced mechanically and heat stable nanocomposites. Consequently, tensile strength of hybrids increased with SiNTs content 52.17–55.24 MPa. A 10% gravimetric loss (516–559°C) and glass transition temperature of PTA/SiNTs (161–168°C) also were shown to be noteworthy. Using silica nanotubes, nanohybrids with fine potential for several applications can be obtained.
