Polymorphic behavior of nylon 6/saponite and nylon 6/montmorillonite nanocomposites

open access: yesPolymer Engineering & Science, 2002
Abstract X‐ray diffraction methods and DSC thermal analysis have been used to investigate the structural change of nylon 6/clay nanocomposites. Nylon 6/clay has prepared by the intercalation of ε‐caprolactam and then exfoliaton of the layered saponite or montmorillonite by subsequent polymerization. Both X‐ray diffraction data and DSC
