Abstract
The nylon 6 has been considered as the highly tough, abrasive resistant, elastic and highly resistive to tensile loading types of thermoplastic. The chemical resistivity to certain acids and alkalies make it an eligible candidate for the various structural and non-structural applications. The Zinc oxide (ZnO) is an excellent material which is having the range of functionality such as; biocompatibility, antimicrobial behavior, photo-catalytic, optical and magnetism, etc. The Mn doping in the ZnO nanoparticles can tune the magnetic properties. The Mn doped ZnO can be used as the reinforcement in the nylon 6 thermoplastic materials for possible 3D printing applications by preparation of magnetic structures. In this study, feedstock filaments of the nylon 6 thermoplastic composites have been prepared with reinforcement of Mn doped ZnO nanoparticles by using twin screw extrusion process. The twin screw extrusion has been conducted by varying the input process parameters such as; Mn doped ZnO concentration, barrel temperature and screw torque. The prepared feedstock filaments were subjected to tensile testing, thermal testing and fracture morphology for investigation of effect of process parameters.
