The Effect of Silane Coupling Agents on a Composite Polyamide-6/Talc

This paper evaluates the effect of the addition of silane agents on the mechanical properties (tensile strength, hardness and flexibility) of the composite polyamide-6/talc. For this purpose, 30% and 40% of a talc with and without the addition of silane agents were incorporated into polyamide-6. Three kinds of silane agents were used, resulting in nine formulations. Comparing the experimental results, it is concluded that the silane agents improve the mechanical properties of the composite material
