The thermal degradation behaviour of nylon 6 and nylon 6 nanocomposites under nitrogen and air atmosphere was investigated using TGA. The onset temperature of nylon 6 nanocomposites was found to be lower than that of pure nylon 6 in both nitrogen and air. On the other hand, temperature at which max...
