Degree Of Orientation

The structural development of nylon6/layered silicate nanocomposite during zone-drawing was studied using X-ray scattering and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. The γ form, which was favored in the pressed film, was converted into the α form during zone-drawing. The newly developed α form, during zone-drawing, has a better orientation than the existing γ form, thus supporting the claim that the α form crystallizes away from the polymer-silicate inter-phase region during drawing. The degree of orientation of the layered silicate, projected along the TD direction, increases with the increase of the draw ratio, suggesting that the layered silicate has become straighter during zone-drawing, although the layered silicate within the zone-drawn film buckled perpendicular to the draw direction. The β transition of the dynamic mechanical thermal analysis is independent of the crystalline phase, although the α transition is strongly dependent upon the crystalline phase. This can be explained by the free volume that exists in the inter-phase between the γ lamellar and the layered silicate.

Novel Method

A new approach of oxidation of carbon nanotubes has been used to oxidize the CNTs. A comparative aspect of the mechanical oxidation and acid oxidation process has been established. FTIR analysis and titration method have shown the higher feasibility of the mechanical oxidation method to oxidize the CNTs. Comparatively less damage to the CNTs has been observed in case of mechanically oxidized as compared to acid oxidized CNTs. The mechanical properties of the nanocomposites reinforced with the acid oxidized CNT (ACNT) and mechanically oxidized CNTs (McCNT) were analyzed and relatively higher properties in the nanocomposites reinforced with McCNT were noticed. The less degree of entanglement in the McCNTs was noticed as compared to ACNTs. The dynamic mechanical analysis of the nanocomposites revealed much improved load transfer capability in the McCNT reinforced composites. Further, the rheological properties of the nanocomposites revealed the higher performance of McCNT reinforced composites.

Nucleating Effect

Thermal and rheological properties of polyamide 6/layered double hydroxide (PA6/LDH) composites were studied. Pristine (U-LDH) and organically modified (M-LDH) clays were used in this study. Some evidence of intercalation was observed on the microstructure of PA6/M-LDH samples, while PA6/U-LDH was characterised by microcomposite morphology as shown by the transmission electron microscopy results. The scanning electron microscopy results showed a complete delamination of the M-LDH in the PA6 matrix while U-LDH was evenly dispersed as immiscible tactoids. In the melt state, the M-LDH had a significant influence on the melt microstructure of PA6 matrix when compared to U-LDH. Differential scanning calorimetry results, both dynamic and isothermal experiments, showed that LDH had a heterogeneous nucleating effect on the PA6 matrix, with the U-LDH showing better nucleating effect when compared to M-LDH. The thermogravimetric analysis results showed that M-LDH had a negative influence on the thermal stability of the composites, while U-LDH improved their thermal stability. The X-ray diffraction and dynamic mechanical analysis results showed that the presence of M-LDH promoted the formation of γ-crystallites in the PA6 matrix, while U-LDH composites were dominated by the α-crystallites. This phenomenon had a positive correlation with increasing content of both LDH clays. An overall improved dynamic mechanical properties were observed for PA6/U-LDH when compared to PA6/M-LDH composites.
