Abstract
In the present work, an upper limit of absorbance of demineralized water, antifreeze, windscreen washer fluid, brake fluid, gasoline and 15 wt% saline solution, on the polyamide-6 nanocomposites\' samples containing 3 wt% montmorillonite (PA-6 / MMT) was determined. The results were compared to the values obtained for pure nylon-6. The comparison allowed to evaluate the applicability of PA-6/MMT nanomaterials with potentially improved barrier properties for creating applications used in the automotive industry.
