| Abstract | ||
| In the present work a new type of composite material has been prepared from mixing of polypropylene and polyamide 6 at constant ratio (80/20)] and adding different weight percent (0, 5,10,15)% of both local bentonite and red kaoline fillers respectively by using single screw extruder .Some of mechanical properties such as tensile strength (Young modulus) tensile at fracture and elongation of filled and unfilled PP/PN6 blends were determined at different temperatures, and different weight percent of filler. Addition of filler increases the Young modulus and tensile strength at break. Bentonite filler gives better mechanical properties, than red kaoline fillers. Also empirical equations were obtained which could be utilizing to calculate one of the mechanical properties in term of temperatures and weight fraction of filler content. An equation was proposed to show the best fit with experimental data, relevant contour diagrams, for optimization of properties is also presented. | ||
