Abstract

Polyamide (PA) 6 was modified by sodium benzoate and sepiolite as nucleating agents. The effects of the kinds and content of the nucleating agents on the mechanical properties, deflection temperature under load and crystallization behavior of PA 6 were studied. The results show that the flexural stress of PA 6 increases by 13.3% or 1.9% with 0.20 phr of sepiolite or sodium benzoate, respectively, while the value increases by 15.9% when 0.20 phr of the composite nucleating agent is introduced. Meanwhile, PA 6 modified with 0.20 phr of the composite nucleating agent exhibits the highest deflection temperature under load of 185°C, while the deflection temperature under load of 181°C and 171°C are obtained for PA 6 with 0.20 phr of sepiolite or sodium benzoate. The composite nucleating agent based on sodium benzoate and sepiolite endows PA 6 with better crystallization properties.
