Prejudices about polyamide for multilayer filmsTed Brink
Although polyamide is widely used for the production of multilayer films, still some prejudices are persistent.
This presentation tries to explain the character of these prejudices to end with the conclusion that polyamide is a versatile polymer with good properties for multilayer films.
Curled multilayer films may lead to problems during printing, lamination, thermoforming, etc. Curling occurs mainly in asymmetrical films.
Some tools are shown to reduce this curling effect.
PACCAR Investigation of Glass Fiber Reinforced Nylon 6/6 for Automotive Appli...Andrew Hollcraft
In an effort to increase automotive fuel efficiency, the replacement of many traditionally metal components, such as power train systems, with high specific modulus and specific toughness thermoplastics is of great interest. A glass reinforced polyamide 6/6 of interest was investigated by a 2^3 factorial designed experiment, using factors relevant to the materials industrial application, including operation temperature, strain exposure, and strongly reducing cleaner exposure, with characterization by tensile testing. The primary statistically significant effects were due to elevated operational temperature exposure, displaying an increase of 40% in tensile modulus alongside an 80% reduction in tensile elongation at break, likely due to cold crystallization of the polymer. Such a reduction in elongation at break may provide challenging, as often a visually deformed part signals the requirement for replacement, as opposed to failure while in use.
