Preparation of nylon 66/mesoporous molecular sieve composite under high pressure
Nylon 66/mesoporous molecular sieve (pore diameter: 2.7 nm) composites were prepared by annealing mixtures of nylon 66 and mesoporous molecular sieve (FSM) powders under high pressures and high temperature (FSM content: 0-60 wt %; pressure: 0.530 MPa; temperature: 300 degrees C; time: 1 h). X-ray diffraction and TEM measurements indicated the presence of the pores of FSM in the composite. Above 2 MPa, nylon 66 was charged in the pores of FSM. The fraction of the charged nylon 66 increased with pressure and was independent of the FSM content (pressure: 2-30 MPa; fraction of charged nylon 66: 54-66%). The infrared spectrum of the composite showed the bands based on Si-O, C-H, N-H, C=O. DSC measurement indicated that the heat of fusion of nylon 66 crystallite in the FSM pores was low compared with that of nylon 66. The composites prepared above 2 MPa were found to be superior in storage modulus to nylon 66. The modulus increased with an increase in the fraction of charged nylon 66 and the amount of FSM.
