Polyamide 6/ organomontmorillonite nanocomposites based on waste materials (in English)
 Polimery #5 (2011)
Szustakiewicz, Poland studied waste polyamide 6 and organomontmorillonite nanocomposites.  The composites were prepared utilizing masterbatches in a twin screw co-rotating extruder. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies revealed the exfoliation of layered silicates in polymer matrix. Tensile tests proved that the addition of five per cent of the organomontmorillonite may be regarded as a facile and cheap approach to improve the mechanical properties of waste polyamide 6.  (RDC 6/1/2011)
