Abstract

The basic concepts of in-situ molecular composite formation are presented with a polyazomethine/nylon 6 system as an example. All the encouraging attributes of molecular reinforcement - increased Tg, solvent resistance and mechanical properties were observed. This provides a commodity resin, such as nylon 6, with properties normally associated with higher priced engineering/specialty resins.
