Thermoplastics nylon

Commercial engineering thermoplastic nylons are mainly crystalline resins. Nylon-6,6 [32131 -17-2] is the largest volume resin, followed by nylon-6 (48). Other commercially available but much lower volume crystalline nylons are -6,9, -6,10, -6,12, -11, and -12. The crystallinity of the molded part decreases with chain size (49). A few truly amorphous commercial nylon resins contain both aromatic and ahphatic monomer constituents (50). For example, Trogamid T resin is made from a mixture of 2,2,4- and 2,4,4-trimethylhexamethylenediamines and terephthahc acid (51). 

Nylon resins are important engineering thermoplastics. Nylons are produced by a condensation reaction of amino acids, a diacid and a diammine, or by ring opening lactams such as caprolactam. The polymers, however, are more important for producing synthetic fibers (discussed later in this chapter).

In Chapter 14 (p. 226) you studied the different addition polymers produced from alkenes. Not all polymers are formed by addition reactions, though. Some are produced as a result of a different type of reaction. In 1935 Wallace Carothers discovered a different sort of plastic when he developed the thermoplastic, nylon. Nylon is made by reacting two different chemicals together, unlike poly(ethene) which is made only from monomer units of ethene. Poly(ethene), formed by addition polymerisation, can be represented by ...

Molecular composites as an extension of fiber reinforcement Molecular composites is designed to use rigid rodlike molecules as reinforcement for the flexible coil molecules as matrix. The patent applications on the molecular composites were made almost in the same age independently by Takayanagi in Japan in 1977 and by Helminiak in the United States in 1978. Takayanagi proposed thermoplastic nylon reinforced by poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide)(PPTA) and Helminiak proposed wet process using poly(p-phenylene benzobisthiazole)(PBT)-reinforced poly(2,5(6)benzimidazole) (ABPBI). In molecular composite (MC) [15,16,17], the fineness of reinforcement was pursued to its limit, i.e. to the molecular dimension. 

To summarize the points discussed, silicone rubbers are innovative. An example of this are inserts in LSR showerheads which do not become blocked and can be produced cost-effectively in the injection-molding process as composite elements with thermoplastic nylon 6.6 30 % glass fiber. Silicone rubbers, however, are also high performance, and this is evident particularly in the many applications where they have been used for years at high temperatures, for exsample seals in irons or other domestic appliances. And not least, silicone rubbers are also efficient. An example of this molds for prototyping without which cost-effective production of individual items would not in fact be possible.

Nylon. Nylon is a generic term for a family of synthetic polymers known generi-cally as aliphatic polyamides, first produced in 1935 at DuPont s research facility at the DuPont Experimental Station led by Carothers. As one of the most popular thermoplastics. Nylon has different chemical structures and trade names such as nylon-6,6, nylon-6, nylon-6,9, and nylon-11.

All crystalline thermoplastics nylon, polyester, polyacetal, as well as polypropylene, display a similarly large loss in modulus as temperature is increased. As a consequence they are not able to perform under stress at even slightly elevated temperatures. The answer to this problem is found in IPN blends of the crystalline resin with amorphous... 

Exfoliated clay nanocomposites formed between organocation exchanged montmorillonites and thermoplastic Nylon-6 have recently been described by Toyota researchers (9-11). Clay exfoliation in the Nylon-6 matrix gave rise to greatly improved mechanical, thermal and rheological properties, mal g possible new materials applications of this polymer. However, it is relatively difficult to achieve complete exfoliation of smectite clays into a continuous polymer matrix, because of the strong electrostatic attraction between the silicate layers and the intergallery cations. 

Additives to thermoplastic nylon were analyzed on a fixed filter analyzer. The samples were presented as cubes and films with both presentation methods giving similar results. The additive range was 0.25 to 1.25%, with an SEE of 0.04 and an r of 0.99.

These thermotropic liquid-crystalhne polymers have high melting points but can be melt-processed like other thermoplastics. The macroscopic orientation of the extended-chain crystals depends on the orientation imparted by flow during processing (molding, extrusion, etc.). Because of the fibrous nature of the extended-chain crystals, these plastics behave as self-reinforced composites, with excellent mechanical properties, at least in the chain direction. This is illustrated in Table 4.3 for molded specimens of a hquid-crystalline copolyester of ethylene glycol, terephthalic acid, and / -hydroxybenzoic acid [14]. In the direction parallel to the flow, the properties listed in Table 4.3 favorably compare with ordinary crystalline thermoplastics (nylons, polyesters) reinforced with up to 30% glass fibers.
