Pendahuluan: Nilon termoplastik merupakan basis gigi tiruan yang banyak diminati oleh para dokter gigi karena memiliki beberapa keuntungan dibandingkan bahan basis gigi tiruan resin akrilik. Diantara jenis nilon termoplastik yang sering dijadikan basis gigi tiruan adalah poliamida 6 dan poliamida mikrokristalin. Poliamida Mikrokristalin merupakan poliamida generasi baru yang dibuat untuk menanggulangi kelemahan pada poliamida sebelumnya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis pengaruh minuman teh pada pengguna gigi tiruan nilon termoplastik terhadap penyerapan air dan stabilitas warna. Metode: Jenis penelitian ini adalah experimental laboratoris. Jumlah sampel terdiri dari 40 dengan  ukuran diameter 15 mm ± 1 mm dan ketebalan 0.5 mm ± 0,1 mm (ISO 4049) dan terbagi menjadi 4 kelompok (kelompok A poliamida 6 dan kelompok B poliamida mikrokristalin untuk penyerapan air serta kelompok C poliamida 6 dan kelompok D poliamida mikrokristalin untuk uji stabilitas warna). Semua sampel direndam dalam larutan teh selama 7 hari. Data dianalisis dengan uji T Independen. Gambaran mikroskopis sampel diuji dengan SEM Hasil: Berdasarkan uji T Independen hasil menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan diantara kelompok A dan B, C dan D.  Uji T independen menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan diantara kelompok A dan B, C dan D (p=0,0001, p<0,05) Simpulan: Terdapat pengaruh minuman teh pada pengguna gigi tiruan nilon termoplastik. Poliamida Mikrokristalin memiliki penyerapan air yang lebih sedikit dan stabilitas warna yang lebih baik dibandingkan Poliamida 6.Kata kunci: Nilon termoplastik, poliamida 6, poliamida mikrokristalin, penyerapan air, stabilitas warna, SEM. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Thermoplastic nylon is a denture base mostly demanded by dentists due to its several advantages over acrylic resin denture base material. Among the types of thermoplastic nylon that are often used as denture bases are polyamide 6 and microcrystalline polyamide. Microcrystalline polyamide is the new generation of polyamides created to overcome the weaknesses of previous polyamides. The purpose of this study was to analyse the effect of tea on thermoplastic nylon denture wearers on water absorption and colour stability. Methods: This research was experimental laboratory research on 40 samples with a diameter of 15 mm ± 1 mm, and a thickness of 0.5 mm ± 0.1 mm (ISO 4049), divided into four groups (Group A was the polyamide 6; Group B was the microcrystalline polyamide on the water absorption; Group C was polyamide 6; and Group D was microcrystalline polyamide on the colour stability). All samples were immersed in the tea solutions for 7 days. Data were analysed with independent t-test. The microscopic structure was analysed using the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results: The results showed significant differences between group A, B, C, and D. The independent t-test also showed significant differences between group A, B, C, and D (p = 0.000; p < 0.05). Conclusion: There is an effect of tea on the thermoplastic nylon denture wearers. Microcrystalline polyamides have less water absorption and better colour stability than Polyamide 6.Keywords:  Polyamide 6, thermoplastic nylon, microcrystalline polyamide, water absorption, colour stability, SEM.

Rubber-toughened nanocomposites (RTNC) consisting of ternary blends of polyamide 6 (PA6), polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene-octene elastomer (POE) containing 4 wt% of organophilic modified montmorillonite were produced by melt compounding followed by injection moulding. The blend composition was kept constant (PA6/PP=70/30 parts by weight) while the POE content was varied between 5 and 20 wt%. Maleated PP (PP-g-MA) was used as compatibilizer. The morphology of the RTNC was studied by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The mechanical properties of RTNC were studied through tensile, flexural, Izod impact and fracture toughness properties. While the tensile and flexural properties were found to decrease with the increasing concentration of POE, the toughness was significantly enhanced as compared to the neat PA6/PP blends. In general, the blends containing 10-15 wt% of POE had the best balance of stiffness, strength and toughness. The addition of 30 wt% of PP in the PA6 matrix improved the compatibility between PA6 and the rubber phase. XRD established that the organoclay was well dispersed (exfoliated) and preferentially embedded in the PA6 phase.

In recent years, polymer-based nanocomposites have been investigated by many researchers due to their enhanced properties. Different types of nanomaterials have been used to produce polymer nanocomposites. One of them is nano-CaCO3. In the present work, nano-CaCO3 material reinforced polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites have been fabricated by melt compounding the PP pellets and nano-CaCO3 masterbatch. The effect of four different loadings of nano-CaCO3 (0, 5, 10, 15 wt%) on the melt rheological properties of the nanocomposites has been investigated. The morphology of the nanocomposites was analyzed by a Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) to study the dispersion state and distribution of nanoCaCO3 particles in PP matrix. Whereas, the melt rheological behavior of the nanocomposites was analyzed by an oscillatory rheometer. The FESEM micrographs showed that the nano-CaCO3 particles were well dispersed and distributed in the PP matrix. Additionally, the melt rheological analysis results showed that the complex viscosity of all nanocomposites samples were higher than that of neat PP and increased with increasing nano-CaCO3 loadings. Furthermore, the complex viscosity data from the rheological test has been fitted by Carreau-Yasuda equation and it was found to be well fitted.

In the present study, static coefficients of friction of pure and friction modified (FM) polyamide 6 (PA6) polymers against primer-coated steel surfaces were investigated under a series of nominal contact pressures and by considering the influences of water absorption by the polymer, temperature, counter-body surface roughness and lubrication conditions. Under the majority of the test conditions investigated, FM PA6 exhibited lower static friction than pure PA6. Under unlubricated conditions, this was due to the low adhesion of the FM PA6 provided by its friction modifying inclusions; while under lubricated conditions, a combination of softening due to water absorption and decreased adhesion provided by its friction modifiers enabled lower static friction, especially at medium and high contact pressures.
