摘要：
Previous studies have highlighted the potential application of Polyamide 6 (PA6) as excellent recyclable polymeric material, which is well suited to form carbon-fiber-reinforced, graphene-nanoplatelets-reinforced or metal-porous-polymer composite structures. The conventional screw extrusion process is one of the established melt processing techniques, having potential of enhancing mechanical, thermal and morphological properties of polymeric materials. PA6 is an important engineering material which exhibits excellent mechanical properties, chemical resistance, wear resistance, dimensional stability, and low coefficient of friction. In the present study attempts have been made to explore the behavior and characteristics of the recycled PA6 polymer through twin screw extrusion process towards increase in recyclability (as primary recycling process). The mechanical properties (tensile strength, Young's modulus, peak load), metallurgical properties (porosity, wear and material loss) supported with optical microscopy were investigated to ensure the recyclability of PA6 as a properties enhancing extrusion process. It has been observed in the present study that, melt processing by screw extrusion at best settings of input process parameters enhances the material properties for applications in sustainable civil engineering.
