The Preparation of Monomer Casting Polyamide 6/Thermotropic Liquid Crystalline Polymer Composite Materials with Satisfactory Miscibility.

ABSTRACT: It is highly expected to develop a simple and effective method to reinforce polyamide 6 (PA6) to enlarge its application potential. This is challenging because of frequently encountered multi-component phase separations. In this paper, we propose a novel method to solve this issue, essentially comprising two steps. Firstly, a kind of poly (amide-block-aramid) block copolymers, i.e., thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (TLCP)-polyamide 6 (TLCP-PA6), that contains both rigid aromatic liquid crystal blocks, and flexible alkyl blocks were synthesized. It is unique in that TLCP is chemically linked with PA6, which is advantageous in excellent chemical and physical miscibility with the precursors of monomer casting polyamide 6 (MCPA6), i.e., ε-caprolactam. Secondly, such newly synthesized bl
