Mechanical and structural properties of melt spun polypropylene/nylon 6 alloy filaments

Abstract: ABSTRACT:Investigated in the present study are the physical properties, morphology, and structure of PP/N6 alloy filaments (10, 20 wt % N6) made with or without PP-g-MAH as compatibilizer. The alloy filaments produced at the take-up speeds of 300 and 800 m/min were drawn with draw ratio of 3.5 and 2, respectively. Stress-strain curves of PP and alloy filaments show ductile and brittle behavior, respectively. It is suggested that the brittle behavior of alloy filaments is due to the presence of microvoids or mi… Show more

“…Processing of an incompatible polymer pair, in which the dispersed phase forms in situ microfibrils, called as microfibril composites (MFC), has been known as a new way to achieve products with enhanced properties (Fakirov and Evstatiev, 1992;Leung et al, 2008). Among numerous polymer blends that have been used for preparation of MFC, those consisting of ap olyolefin matrix reinforced by either polyester or polyamide fibrils have received special attention (Afshari et al, 2005;Fakirov et al, 2008;Si et al, 2008). Li et al (2010) studied the effect of viscosity ratio and presence of compatibilizer on microfibrillar morphology development in PP/PET blend system.…”

“…To produce a blend with microfibrillar morphology, a lowmelting point thermoplastic matrix is reinforced with in situ formed microfibrils of another high-melting point thermoplastic [21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Fibre spinning is the most conductive method to create fibrillar morphology because the elongational force field existing in the spinning method is more effective than the shear force field existing in other processes [28][29][30][31][32][33]. Blending of polyolefin with polar polymer has been used as a desired method of enhancing the dyeability of PP fibres [34].…”

“…The past decades have witnessed a rapid development of researches on polymer blends, which has lead to a broad variety of applications,1–9 Investigations including miscibility, phase behavior, microstructure, crystallization, hierarchical morphology, and physical and mechanical properties have been detailed 1–3, 8–13. Recently, a novel process of producing submicron and nanosized thermoplastic fibers in continuous yarn forms was developed through polymer blending method 14–18.…”
