It is known that the percolation threshold of polyamide 6 (PA6)/multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composites is higher than that of PA66/MWCNT composites under the same mixing conditions and melt viscosity. A series of blends of PA6 and PA66 containing 1 wt % MWCNTs have been prepared to investigate this phenomenon. At contents up to 20 wt % PA66, the blends were not electrically conductive. The electrical resistivity dropped to 10⁸ Ohm∙cm for PA66/PA6 30/70 blends. The resistivity was 10⁵ Ohm∙cm at higher PA66 contents. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to investigate the thermal behavior of blends. The glass transition temperature was almost constant for all blend compositions, indicating that the amorphous phases are miscible. The MWCNT addition influenced the crystallization of PA66 much more than the PA6 crystallization. A heterogeneous crystallization of the polyamide in PA66/PA6 blends took place, and the MWCNTs were mainly localized in the earlier crystallizing PA66 phase. Thus, the formation of the nanotube network and thus the electrical volume resistivity of the PA6/PA66 blends with 1 wt % MWCNTs is significantly influenced by the crystallization behavior. In PA66/PA6 blends up to 60 wt %, the more expensive PA66 can be replaced by the cheaper PA6 while retaining its electrical properties.
已知在相同的混合条件和熔体粘度下,聚酰胺6(PA6)/多壁碳纳米管(MWCNT)复合材料的渗流阈值高于PA66/MWCNT复合材料。制备了一系列含有1 wt% MWCNT的PA6和PA66共混物来研究这一现象。在PA66含量高达20 wt%时,共混物不导电。PA66/PA6 30/70共混物的电阻率降至10⁸欧姆∙厘米。在PA66含量较高时,电阻率为10⁵欧姆∙厘米。采用差示扫描量热法研究共混物的热行为。所有共混物组成的玻璃化转变温度几乎恒定,表明非晶相是可混溶的。MWCNT的添加对PA66结晶的影响远大于对PA6结晶的影响。PA66/PA6共混物中聚酰胺发生了异质结晶,MWCNT主要位于较早结晶的PA66相中。因此,含1 wt% MWCNT的PA6/PA66共混物的纳米管网络形成以及体积电阻率受结晶行为的显著影响。在PA66/PA6共混物中,高达60 wt%的较昂贵的PA66可以被较便宜的PA6替代,同时保持其电学性能。
