Abstract

The preparation of polymer nanocomposites filled with carbon nanotubes requires the nanotubes to be uniformly dispersed and compatible with the polymer matrix. In this work we report a preparation method of polyamide 6 (PA 6) based nanocomposite containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) without any additional surface modification and obtained by in situ polymerization, as a simple method for composites production. The process was assisted by ultrasounds prior to synthesis.With such a method, an interesting morphology of polyamide 6 confined into a multiwalled carbon nanotube as well as grafted on a carbon nanotube surface was observed. For comparative purpose, PA 6 nanocomposites were also prepared from commercially available master batch by melt compounding.
