This invention relates to the field of preparation method technology and discloses a method for preparing a low-density nylon foam material. The method includes selecting nylon resin as the matrix material, wherein the nylon resin is a blend of PA6 and amorphous nylon PA610 in a specific ratio, wherein the
mass ratio of PA6 to PA610 is 60:40 to 80:20, and the melt strength of the nylon resin is greater than or equal to 18 Pa·s; introducing a composite
foaming agent, wherein the composite
foaming agent is a combination of a chemical
foaming agent and a physical foaming agent; and adding a nucleating agent, wherein the nucleating agent is nano-sized silica, nano-clay,
talc, or a combination thereof, wherein the
mass content of nano-silica is 0.5% to 2.0%. This invention can maintain stable dimensions and mechanical properties in humid environments and has a uniform and stable
cell structure.
