Mechanical properties of nylon 6-clay hybrid
Yoshitsugu Kojima,Arimitsu Usuki,Masaya Kawasumi,Akane Okada,Yoshiaki Fukushima,Toshio Kurauchi,Osami Kamigaito +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of nylon 6-clay hybrids, such as molecular composites of nylon and silicate layers of montmorillonite and saponite, NCH's and NCHP's, respectively, have been synthesized.

Synthesis of nylon 6-clay hybrid
Arimitsu Usuki,Yoshitsugu Kojima,Masaya Kawasumi,Akane Okada,Yoshiaki Fukushima,Toshio Kurauchi,Osami Kamigaito +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the carboxyl and amino end groups were attributed to ammonium cations (-NH3+) of nylon molecules, because the difference agreed with the anion site concentration of the montmorillonite in NCH.

Swelling behavior of montmorillonite cation exchanged for ω-amino acids by ∊-caprolactam
Arimitsu Usuki,Masaya Kawasumi,Yoshitsugu Kojima,Akane Okada,Toshio Kurauchi,Osami Kamigaito +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a model where amino acid molecules were arranged perpendicular to silicate layers and ∊-caprolactam molecules filled the space between them was proposed to obtain nylon 6-clay hybrid, a molecular composite of nylon 6 and montmorillonite.

Bound Rubber and Carbon Black Reinforcement
TL;DR: The first description of the bound rubber phenomenon was by Twiss in 1925, who made the observation that the resistance of carbon black-natural rubber mixes to solvents was related to improved mechanical properties.
