Popis: Nylon 6/MgAl-LDH nanocomposites had been successfully prepared by In situ hydrolyzed ring opening polymerization in this work. The structures and properties of Nylon 6/MgAl-LDH nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The nanodispersion of exfoliated MgAl-LDH layers in nylon 6 matrix has been verified by the observation of TEM image in Nylon 6/MgAl-LDH nanocomposites with 0.3 wt% MgAl-LDH (MANM-0.3). The XRD results showed that the exfoliated MgAl-LDH favored the formation of the γ-crystalline of nylon 6 form. DSC data showed that the exfoliated MgAl-LDH layers play the role of nucleating agents with strong heterogeneous nucleation effect on the crystallization of nylon 6. But TAG results showed the thermal stability of nylon 6/MgAl-LDH nanocomposites were worse than that of neat nylon 6.
