The effect of anatase and rutile forms of titanium oxide on the thermal, physicomechanical properties, water absorption and hardness of polycaproamide was studied. It was shown that titanium dioxide has an influence on the degree of crystallinity and the crystallite size. TGA method shows that samples containing rutile and anatase lose weight at a higher temperature than polycaproamide sample without additives. Analysis of the physicomechanical properties of the synthesized samples showed that titanium dioxide in a concentration of 10-4 M increases the strength properties of polycaproamide. At the same time increasing the concentration of titanium dioxide to 10-1 M leads to a decrease in physical and mechanical properties. Anatase and rutile do not have a significant effect on water absorption and polymer hardness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
