Graphene nanoplatelet reinforcement for thermal and mechanical properties enhancement of bio-based polyamide 6, 10 nanocomposites for automotive applications

Graphene nanoplatelet reinforcement for thermal and mechanical properties enhancement of bio-based polyamide 6, 10 nanocomposites for automotive applications

In this study, graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) (2%, 4%, 6% and 8% by wt.) were incorporated into PA610 matrix via melt compounding using a twin-screw extruder to compensate for the relatively lower mechanical and thermal properties of bio-based PA610 compared to petroleum-based polyamide. Thermogravime...
