Abstract

Particulate reinforced thermoplastic composites are designed to improve the properties and to lower the overall cost of engineering plastics. In this study the effects of particle size and particle size distribution on the properties of mica filled nylon-6 was investigated. Composites of nylon-6 with varying concentrations (viz. 5 to 40 wt%) of mica were prepared by twin screw extrusion. The composite showed improved mechanical, thermal as well dielectric properties on addition of filler.
