Abstract

In this research, the preparations of PA6/Clay (4% namomer I.30TC) nanocomposites by melt-intercalation process were carried out. The mechanical properties, impact energy, heat deflection temperatures (HDT) and tribology properties of these nanocomposites in the case of being annealed and water saturation were determined and compared to PA6 and Capron. All of the properties of these nanocomposites were better than those of Russia’s Capron and PA6. These nanocomposites were used to make water lubricated stern tube bearings. The study shows promissing results.
