The MWCNT-COOH and CTAB modified MMT were hybridized by the ultrasonic method, and the nylon 66/MMT/WMCNT composite was prepared by in-situ polymerization to study the effect of the introduction of MMT and MWCNT on the properties of nylon 66. A scanning electron micrograph of the composite cross-section shows that the CNTs were uniformly dispersed in the nylon 66 matrix. The XRD patterns show that the introduction of MMT and MWCNT-COOH caused the ratio of α1 and α2 of nanocomposites. The TGA results show that the heat resistance and residual carbon content of the composite material are improved. The mechanical properties of nanocomposites show that the mechanical properties of the material are improved relative to pure PA66.
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.
