Abstract
The objective of this paper is to experimentally study tensile strength, Impact strength, Flexural strength and Wear Characteristics of the Nano tubular material Halloysite Nanotubes (HNT) into ABS/PC blend with ABS and PC compositions in the ratio 40/60. We have fabricated the Thermoplastic Nanocomposites specimens as per ASTM standards, with the Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Polycarbonate (PC) blend as matrix material and with 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% and 6% HNT reinforcement material using Co–Rotating Intermeshing Twin Screw Extruder by Melt Compounding. Mechanical Tests were conducted and results were compared with the original ABS/PC blend. Effects of Halloysite Nanotubes reinforcement percentage were discussed in detail. The obtained results suggested that ABS/PC (40/60) blend with 4% reinforcement of Halloysite Nanotubes executed better mechanical properties. SEM is used to study the failure mechanism of the proposed Nano composite.
