Abstract
AbstractA poly(phenylsulfone)‐urea (PPSUU) macro‐activator is synthesized by in situ anionic polymerization of 4,4′‐diaminodiphenylsulfone and hexamethylene diisocyanate. The PPSUU segment is embedded into the nylon molecular chain through copolymerization to improve the wear resistance and flame retardancy of monomer cast nylon 6 (MC PA6) materials. The mechanical properties, thermal stability, friction and wear properties and combustion heat release rate of copolymers with different macro‐activator contents are tested. Results indicate that a small amount of PPSUU can improve the wear resistance and impact properties of nylon materials. The wear loss of MC nylon is 54.8% less than pure MC nylon from 1.049 × 10−8 to 0.474 × 10−8 g/Nm with 6 wt% PPSUU. Moreover, better flame retardancy is verified. The peak of HRR reduced 36.8% from 654 to 413 kw/m2 with 4 wt% PPSUU, accompanied by advanced ignition time and flame extinction time, thus reducing the risk of fire.
