Masterbatch of Chitosan Nanowhiskers for Preparation of Nylon 6,10 Nanocomposite by Melt Blending.

ABSTRACT: Composite materials have been extensively studied to optimize properties such as lightness and strength, which are the advantages of plastics. We prepared a highly concentrated (30 wt %) nylon/chitosan nanowhisker (CSW) masterbatch by blending nylon 6,10 and CSW by solvent casting to achieve high dispersion efficiency while considering an industrial setting. Subsequently, 0.3 wt % nylon/CSW nanocomposites were prepared with a large quantity of nylon 6,10 via melt blending. During preparation, the materials were stirred in the presence of formic acid at different times to investigate the effect of stirring time on the structure of the CSW and the physical properties of the composite. The formation of nanocomposites by the interactions between nylon and CSW was confirmed by observing the cha
