The influence of fiber pretreatment on the mechanical properties of nylon 6,6‐asbestos composites. II. Interfacial coating of asbestos fibers with a thin film of nylon 6,6

摘要

AbstractNylon–asbestos composites comprise a significant proportion of reinforced nylon thermoplastics. To improve the cooperation between matrix and fibers the coating of the asbestos by interfacialin situpolymerization is proposed. Previous work on the system chrysotile‐nylon 6,6 is extended so that the reactants application order is now inversed, in order to consider any differences in the extraction resistance and the polymerization yield, in conjunction with thermal analysis studies. Experimental results gathered provide severe, but indirect, indications for the development of a strong interface bond between polymer and asbestos fib
