Abstract

The Polyamide 6 (PA6)/ maleic anhydride grafted ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM-g-MAH)/organic montmorillonite (OMMT) nanocomposites were successfully prepared by melt extrusion method at different contents of OMMT fillers. The content of OMMT were studied to discuss the mechanical properties, thermal resistance properties and melt-crystal behavior of the nanocomposites. The results were summarized as follows: The PA6/EPDM-g-MAH/OMMT nanocomposites were prepared using melt extrusion method. The influence of the OMMT filler contents on the properties of PA6/EPDM-g-MAH/OMMT nanocomposites were studied. The mechanical properties and thermal resistance properties were improved with the addition of OMMT. The results showed that when the content of OMMT was 3.5wt%, comparing to the pure PA6, the bending strength was improved 31.7%, the notch impact strength was improved by 40.5%, and the heat deflection temperature was improved by 31.1°C. This kind of nanocomposites had good application prospects.
