Investigation on thermal properties of nanoclay added polyamide 6/high density polyethylene (HDPE) composites [Nanokil katkili poliamid 6/yüksek yoǧunluklu polietilen kompozitlerin termal özelliklerinin incelenmesi]

In this study,the effects of hdpe (high density polyethylene),compatibilizer (maleic anhydrides grafted polyethylene,pe-g-ma) and nanoclays (modified montmorillonite) that are added to matrix material of pa6 were investigated for the thermal properties of the prepared polymeric nanocomposites. the effect of hdpe,compatibilizer and nanoclays that are added to matrix material pa6 on the thermal properties of the composites were investigated. tem investigation has been carried out to determine the agglomeration of the nanoparticles. to determine thermal properties of the produced composites,vicat softening temperature (vst),heat deflection temperature (hdt),differential scanning calorimetry (dsc) and thermogravimetric analysis (tga) experiments were performed. the results of experiments showed that nanoclay and compatibilizer with varying ratios change the vst temperature of the polymeric nanocomposite. also,the addition of nanoclay and compatibilizer was found to raise the melting and softening temperature of the polymeric nanocomposite,increase the loss of mass and change the enthalpy of melting.
