Structure-property relationships between nylon66 matrix and microcrystalline cellulose filler

초록

Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a lightweight and robust filler which has drawn a significant attention in composite application fields. In this study, we manufactured nylon66-MCC composites through extrusion and injection molding process. In this presentation, we will discuss thermal and mechanical properties of nylon66-MCC composites. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding between nylon66 matrix and hydroxyl groups of MCC modified crystalline structure of nylon66 and played a key role in mechanical properties of the composites. We will discuss structure-property relationships of the composites with an emphasis on the influences of the hydrogen bonding.
