Abstract

Nylon-6/exfoliated graphite (Nylon-6/EG) composite was prepared via a combination method of in situ polymerization and thermal expansion and characterized via scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Otherwise, the resistivity value of Nylon-6/EG composite was measured, and the volume resistivity value was calculated as well as. The characterization showed that Nylon-6/EG composite had the morphology of the graphite worm and was structured by EG and Nylon-6, which covered on the surface of EG. The result exhibited that the volume resistivity of Nylon-6/EG composite would decrease when the dosage of EG increased. When the mass percent of EG was 1%, the the volume resistivity value of Nylon-6/EG composite could reach 2.3 × 106 Ω cm. This shows that the combination method not only is very effective and reliable but also can play an important role in preparing antistatic Nylon-6 composite.
