Polyamide 6 nanocomposites and amorphous polyamide nanocomposites based on poly(hexamethylene isophthalamide) were prepared by solution intercalation with pristine sodium montmorillonite. The solvents used were 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) for polyamide 6...
