In this study, the influence of silane coupling agents, featuring different organo-functional groups on the interlaminar and thermal properties of woven glass fabric-reinforced nylon 6 composites, has been by means of short-beam shear tests, dynamic mechanical analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The results indicate that the fiber-matrix interfacial characteristics obtained using the different analytical methods agree well with each other. The interlaminar shear strengths (ILSS) of glass fabric/nylon 6 composites sized with various silane coupling agents are significantly improved in comparison with that of the composite sized commercially. ILSS of the composites increases in the order: Z-6076 with chloropropyl groups in the silanes > Z-6030 with methacrylate groups> Z-6020 with diamine groups; this trend is similar to that of results found in an earlier study of interfacial shear strength. The dynamic mechanical properties, the fracture surface observations, and the thermal stability also support the interfacial results. The improvement of the interfacial properties may be ascribed to the different chemical reactivities of the reactive amino end groups of nylon 6 and the organo-functional groups located at the ends of the silane chains, which results from the increased chemical reactivity in order chloropropyl > methacrylate > diamine.

본 연구에서는 사슬말단에 chloropropyl 유기관능그룹을 가지고 있는 실란결합체인 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane(CTMS)을 사용하여 여러 농도에서 유리섬유 표면에 사이징 처리하여 유리섬유/나일론 6 및 유리직물/나이론 6 복합재료를 제조하였다. 단섬유 microbonding 시험에 의한 유리섬유/나일론 6 복합재료의 계면전단강도와 short-beam 전단시험과 동역학적 열특성 분석 방법을 통하여 유리직물/나일론 6 복합재료의 층간전단강도 및 저장탄성률에 미치는 결합체 농도의 영향을 각각 조사하였다. CTMS 결합제의 농도가 증가할수록 복합재료의 계면특성이 향상되었다. 결합제의 농도 변화에 대한 유리섬유강화 나일론 6 복합재료의 계면전단강도, 층간전단강도, 층간파단양상 그리고 저장탄성률 등 각 특성 변화의 경향이 서로 일치하였다.
