Abstract
Polymer nanocomposites based on polyamide and fulleroid modifiers are synthesized through in situ polymerization, and their mechanical and electric properties are studied. After introduction of 0.001–0.1 wt % fulleroid modifiers, Young’s modulus and the strength of thermoplastic composites increases by 15–20%, practically independently of the amount of filler. This circumstance is due to the fact that the introduction of fulleroid fillers causes selective crystallization of polyamide 6 only in the α form. The introduction of fullerene fillers considerably improves the tribological characteristics of polymer nanocomposites, thereby decreasing the friction coefficient by a factor of 2. The electric properties of nanocomposites are studied also.
