Abstract

This article highlights the potential of halloysite nanotube (HNT) as a multifunctional filler for polypropylene/polyamide 66 (PP/PA66) blends, for their roles as the reinforcing agent, compatibilizer, nucleating agent, and thermal stabilizer. The flexural modulus and strength of PP/PA66 were improved by the incorporation of HNT due to the reinforcing ability and compatibilization effects of HNT. 4 parts per hundred resin (phr) of HNT improved the thermal stability of PP/PA66 blends due to its heat barrier effects. Adding HNT increased the degree of crystallinity for PP and PA66, where the effects of HNT were more prominent in the PA66 phase, attributed to additional hydrogen bonding formation between the PA66 and HNT.
