This project investigates the effect of water and temperature on the crystalline phase of polyamide nanoclay nanocomposites. Experiment was carried out on Polyamide-6 (PA6) nanocomposites containing 0 wt%, 2 wt%, 4 wt% and 8 wt% of nanoclay. Nanocomposite films were immersed in water at elevated tem...
