This invention discloses a
nanoparticle-reinforced nylon-based
engineering plastic and its preparation method, belonging to the field of
polymer engineering composite materials technology. The
engineering plastic uses PA6 as a matrix, porous hollow
ZnO nanoparticles prepared by PS template method as reinforcing fillers, supplemented with antioxidants, lubricants, and
silane coupling agents, and is prepared through
solvothermal reaction,
calcination,
acid activation,
surface modification, and
melt blending extrusion. This invention uses a PS
microsphere template-assisted solvothermal-
calcination process to prepare
ZnO nanoparticles with internal cavities and abundant through-pores on the surface. After activation with dilute
acetic acid and modification with KH-550, the problem of nanofiller agglomeration is effectively solved, achieving mechanical
interlocking with the nylon matrix. The preparation process of this invention is controllable, and the resulting
composite material, compared with pure PA6, exhibits significantly improved tensile strength and surface
hardness, no significant decrease in elongation at break, and significantly optimized
wear resistance. It possesses excellent overall performance and is suitable for high-end equipment structural components under
high load and high friction conditions, showing promising prospects for industrial application.
