| Abstract: | Polyamides are thermoplastic polymers mainly used for producing synthetic fibers. Only about 10% of polyamides are used for plastics production. The market is shared roughly equally between polyamide 6 (polycaprolactam) and polyamide 66 {poly (hexamethyleneadipamide)}. More recently, the research on polyamides led to their nanocomposites. These new hybrid polyamides are reinforced with nanofillers able to increase their main properties and also bring some new interesting characteristics. This paper deals with nanocomposites made of various polyamides and nanofillers; they find application in many engineering fields. |
