Abstract

In this study, mode I debonding of the interface between silica and nylon-6 is examined using molecular dynamics, to predict the mechanical behavior of the interface between the polymer and silica. The effect of two types of surface treatment to the silica– Aminopropyltriethoxysilane and Hexamethyldisilazane (APTES and HMDZ) – on debonding is studied. Comparing the results for debonding between untreated, APTES and HMDZ modified surfaces suggests that the APTES treated surface provides a higher strength and toughness for surface debonding. The strength and toughness of the treated interfaces are higher than that of those of bare silica. The simulation results also show the formation of nano-sized voids in the polymer prior to separation with silica.
