Resumo:
Processing and Characterization of Nylon 11 Nanocomposites Reinforced with Titanates Nanotubes Modified by Surfactants has investigated the effect of titanate nanotubes (TTNTs) in the mechanical properties of Nylon 11 (polyamide 11) polymer. According to the existing literature small amounts of TTNTs in polymer matrix improve properties such as tensile strength and stiffness. However, the addition of these nanoparticles may also lead to a decrease of strength of the composite if the nanotubes are not well dispersed in the polymer matrix. Therefore, Nylon 11 composites with TTNTs treated with 2 kinds of surfactant - a cationic (CTAB) and an anionic (SDS) - were also investigated. The surfactants act as dispersion agents leading to a better dispersion state of nanotubes and as a final result, promote enhancement of composites mechanical properties. Also, the dispersion of nanotubes was studied with and without mixing surfactants in distilled water and butanol, in three different time intervals (15, 30 and 60 minutes) to assess the optimal dispersion parameters. Composites were produced in a microextruder and a microinjector. The composites with TTNTs treated with CTAB displayed an increase of 15 percent and 10 percent in the Young s Modulus and the composites with TTNTs treated with SDS displayed an increase of 26 percent and 20 percent in the same property, respectively in the concentrations of 0.5 and 2 percent wt of TTNTs, compared to pure Nylon 11.
