POLYAMIDE 6 REINFORCEMENT BY HYBRID SHORT BASALT FIBER AND ORGANOCLAY FILLING
Abstract
The effect of additives of short basalt fibers (BF) and organoclay – a montmorillonite modified with surfactant (quaternary ammonium salt of hydrochloric acid, in which the nitrogen cation is associated with methyl, tallilnym and two hydroxyethyl hydrocarbon radicals) – on the structure and mechanical properties of polyamide 6 (PA6) has been studied. The component compounding was carried out in the PA6 melt by reactive extrusion (RE) using a twin-screw extruder (screw diameter D = 35 mm and L / D = 40). It was shown that at hybrid filling of PA6 with BF and organoclay, the synergistic enhancement of mechanical characteristics of the composites is observed. This effect is most pronounced at low concentration (15 wt %) of BF in the composite.
