Abstract
In the present chapter, authors analyzed properties of nanocomposites based on polyamide-6 and organomodified layered silicates according to the theories of Halpin-Tsai and Mori-Tanaka. The morphology of nanocomposites under consideration was analyzed by radiographic analysis and transmission electron microscopy. The degree of delamination of the structure of layered silicates in the polymer matrix is shown to be a crucial factor to improve the physical and mechanical characteristics of the nanocomposites. A high level of orientation of elementary particles of layered silicates is stated when shear forces applied in comparison with fibers both due to individual features and due to a more favorable geometric shape. Correlation of the simulation and experimental data is shown.
