Abstract
Tribological behaviours of nanoclay filled polyamide-6/polypropylene/compatibilizer composite against stainless steel counter-face
Highlights
Polyamide polymers have moderate mechanical properties, excellent wear resistant properties, and solvents
Polyamides are ductile in the un notched state but they show brittle behavior in the state of notched impact
The decrease in coefficient of friction is about 18% and 29% for PA6/PP-5%SEBS-g-MA-5% nanoclay composite and PA6/PP-5%SEBS-g-MA blend, respectively when comparing with PA6/PP blend. 0.5m/s sliding speeds, the COF values increased with the increase in applied load
Summary
Polyamide polymers have moderate mechanical properties, excellent wear resistant properties, and solvents. The effect of applied load and sliding speed on the tribological properties were investigated for PA6/PP polymer blend, PA6/PP-5%SEBS-g-MA blend and PA6/PP5% SEBS-g-MA-5% nano clay composite materials. Coefficient of friction (μ) and specific wear rate values were evaluated.
