TITLE : MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND MORPHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF NYLON 6,6 / CLOISITE @ 20A NANOCOMPOSITE  
ABSTRACT :

This paper discusses the effects of Cloisite®20A Nanoclay with Nylon6,6 and compares the resultant composite with Virgin nylon6,6. In order to analyze the morphology and mechanical properties of the resultant nanocomposite over a wide spectrum of composition, it is prepared under various ratios of Cloisite®20A (C20A) with Nylon 6,6 using Twin screw extruder. The melt mixing and melting is homogeneous and done without compatibility agents. During extrusion silicon oil is used for miscibility of the constitution of the Nanocomposite. The Tensile, Flexural and Impact specimens are prepared as per the ASTM standard. Using the specimen testing carried out by using Universal Testing Machine (UTM). It is observed that Tensile strength & Modulus, Flexural strength & Modulus Stiffness, Impact and Hardness of Nanocomposites. The Morphological analysis of nanocomposite with the influences of Cloisite®20A were studied by using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) Transmission Electron Microscope((TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Keywords: Nylon 6, 6, Cloisite ® 20A, UTM, SEM, TEM, Morphology
