Abstract
In order to check the feasibility of crosslinking engineering plastics through chemical coupling, reactive blending of polyamide 6 (PA6) was performed with various amounts of a multi-functional epoxide named as Joncryl ADR®4370s. The formation of cross-linked structure in ADR modified PA6 was clearly verified by utilizing dynamic rheological technique. The thermal properties of modified PA6 were compared with that of pristine nylon by combination of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Mechanical tests were also carried out and the results showed that ADR had a positive effect on improving tensile properties of polyamide.
