| Abstract: | In this work, a series of nylon 6 nanocomposites with different nanoclay/jojoba oil contents have been prepared by direct melt compounding. Nanocomposite morphologies were characterized by means of WAXS analysis. Thermal and mechanical fibers properties were studied as well. The kinetic desorption of the cosmetic oil through the polymer matrix was evaluated by FT-IR microscopy. It was found that the state of the clay particles affected the thermal behaviour and the tensile mechanical properties of each polymer/clay hybrid. On the other hand, the release of the cosmetic oil, tested by FT-IR microscopy, is a good perspective for the application of polyamide 6 nanocomposite fibers as textiles in cosmetic field. |
