Title: Abrasion studies of nylon 6/montmorillonite nanocomposites using scanning electron microscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
Authors: Zhou, Qi; Wang, Kean; Loo, Leslie S.
Abstract: The article discusses a study which investigated the abrasion performance of commercial nylon 6 and nylon 6/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites. Changes in surface morphology, composition and structure of the nanocomposite were observed in the study using techniques such as scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Several abrasive wear mechanisms identified include tensile tearing and the cutting mechanism.
