The aim of this work is to evaluate the possibility to use textile residues of polyamide with elastane that are discarded by the industry as a matrix of a new polymer-clay composite material, evaluated on a manometric scale, and to propose a way of recycling for these materials. At the same time, with nanocomposite technology, value is added to this material. In this work, polyamide of textile residues from industry was used. These materials were first processed in a compacter machine. Composites at 1, 2, and 3% by weight of Light Green clay/polyamide were prepared by double screw extrusion. The properties of the composite were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), tensile, flexural, impact tests, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Results obtained were compared with the neat textile polyamide properties. It was concluded that it is feasible to recycle the textile residues of polyamide, and that the addition of clay, at the doses studied in this work, could lead to the obtaining of composite materials with better mechanical than untreated ones. |
