Thermal Stability of Hybrid Nano Composites PA6/MMT/MH with Dual Response Method

Abstract

This work has investigated the thermal properties of PA6/MMT/ MH Nano composite. For this, a series of Nano powders (montmorillonite, magnesium hydrate) were used in Nano composites systems by using polyamide 6 that were prepared using twin screw extrusion techniques at different levels of Nano powders and different processing parameters (Barrel temperature profile and screw rate). The results showed that the thermal stability improves in both delay in combustion process and increased remain material by increasing Nano powders up to 4 %, using thermal gravimetric analysis method concern changes in the thermal decomposition behaviour. Using dual response system optimal factor setting with minimum repetition and FTIR, DSC and XRD were used to further understand the mechanism.
