The tyre consists of many layers of cord fabric, with each layer being referred to as a cord ply. These layers are strategically positioned within the tyre’s internal structure, particularly in the tread and sidewall areas, to improve handling, durability and impact resistance. The cord fabric also serves a critical role in maintaining the structural integrity of the tyre, ensuring that it retains its contour and resists deformations under different operating conditions. This study discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using Nylon 6 (NY6) and Nylon 66 (NY66) cord fabrics in scooter tire production, with a focus on their mechanical behavior under varying curing temperatures and pressures. It was observed that while the curing time for both NY6 and NY66 remained consistent across different platen temperatures and pressures, their mechanical properties showed significant differences. NY6, known for its flexibility and impact resistance, exhibited greater changes in cord-breaking strength and elongation with increasing temperature, showing a marked decrease in breaking strength at higher temperatures. In contrast, NY66 maintained better stability and performance under similar conditions.展开更多

The observation on the morphologies of the etched surfaces of the cryogenically fractured specimens via scanning electron microscopy（SEM） demonstrated that in the compatibilized Nylon 6/PBT blends, there exists a finer and more uniform dispersion induced by the in-situ interfacial chemical reactions during the preparation than that in the corresponding uncompatibilized blends. On the other hand, the overall mechanical properties of the compatibilized blends could be remarkably im- proved compared with those of the uncompatibilized ones. Moreover, increasing the amount of the compatibilizer SMA leads to a more efficient dispersion of the PBT phase in Nylon 6/PBT blends. Furthermore, there exists an optimum level of SMA added to achieve the maximum mechanical properties. As far as the mechanism of this reactive compatibilization is concerned, the enhanced interfacial adhesion is necessary to obtain improved dispersion, stable phase morphology, and better mechanical properties.展开更多
尼龙6(PA6)树脂具有优异的性能,其连续纤维复合材料在汽车、航空航天领域具有广泛应用。但是PA6树脂熔融后黏度较高,不易对连续纤维充分浸渍,并且连续纤维与PA6的复合材料界面黏附性较差,限制了其复合材料的性能和应用。针对这些问题,...尼龙6(PA6)树脂具有优异的性能,其连续纤维复合材料在汽车、航空航天领域具有广泛应用。但是PA6树脂熔融后黏度较高,不易对连续纤维充分浸渍,并且连续纤维与PA6的复合材料界面黏附性较差,限制了其复合材料的性能和应用。针对这些问题,文中对连续玻璃纤维增强尼龙6(CGF/PA6)复合材料开展了研究。首先,采用阴离子开环聚合制备PA6,确定了其最佳制备工艺;其次,用硅烷偶联剂KH550(AP)对连续玻璃纤维(CGF)进行改性,并对其进行了红外光谱表征;最后,通过原位聚合法制备了CGF/PA6复合材料,研究了AP改性对CGF/PA6复合材料力学性能的影响,并对CGF/PA6复合材料的拉伸断口进行了扫描电镜分析。结果表明,AP被键合到了CGF表面,AP改性可以增强CGF/PA6复合材料的界面黏附性,从而使CGF/PA6复合材料的拉伸强度得到改善,当AP用量为2%时,CGF/PA6复合材料的拉伸强度高达88.52 MPa,此时,复合材料的断裂伸长率最低,为4.90%。CGF/PA6复合材料的冲击强度变化不大,均在50 k J/m2左右,说明复合材料的韧性受CGF表面改性影响较小。展开更多

The compatibilizer contained a long chain hydrocarbon, double bond and two polar functional groups which was capable of reacting with both LDPE and nylon-6 in the presence of initiator to form a copolymer at the interface of the two polymer phases. The extruded blends exhibited significant enhancement in their compatibility based on morphological, thermal analysis and mechanical studies. The effect of the hydrocarbon chain length and structure of the functional group of the compatibilizer was also examined. It was found that blends prepared by using the compatibilizer containing longer hydrocarbon chain and amide group had better mechanical properties.展开更多
