Abstract
Well‐dispersed loads of powdered metals, metal oxides, several carbon allotropes, or nanoclays are incorporated into polyamide 6 microcapsules (PAMC) via a one‐step in situ fabrication technique. It is based on activated anionic polymerization (AAP) of ϵ‐caprolactam in a hydrocarbon solvent performed in the presence of the respective micro‐ or nanosized loads. The forming PAMC are with controllable shape, size and load content. The results obtained show that the melt processing of PAMC is a facile method to fabricate thermoplastic hybrids with high mechanical resistance and tailored electro‐magnetic characteristics. This novel concept requires low polymerization temperatures, no functionalization or compatibilization of the loads and is scalable for industrial production levels.
