Abstract
Nylon-6 antistatic composites filled with zinc oxide whiskers were prepared by melt blending. The whiskers were treated with a coupling agent. Electrical, mechanical and rheological properties were determined and the effect of the zinc oxide whisker loading on these properties, was determined. The structure of the composites, their morphology, thermal properties and crystallisation behaviour were characterised by FTIR, SEM, TGA, WAXD and DSC. Results showed that the whiskers were well dispersed in the nylon-6 matrix. Crystallinity, melt temperature, tensile strength and hardness decreased gradually with increasing whisker content, but the antistatic performance, processing properties and thermal stability improved. 24 refs.
