Computer Modeling of Optimal Chemical Composition of Modified Polyamide Waste Agglomerate

The research aims to create the foundation for computer modeling of the optimal chemical composition of polyamide-6 waste agglomerate with increased set of strength properties. The research tasks are identifying the optimal chemical composition of modified polyamide waste agglomerate and building computer models for forecasting their most important performance characteristics. The research is modified polyamide waste agglomerate based on polyamide-6, MW-PA CB10 masterbatch and humic acids. The research subject is computer modeling processes of optimal chemical composition of modified polyamide waste agglomerate. The research method is computer simulation in MathCad Prime 6.0. The authors developed models for forecasting the performance properties of modified polyamide waste agglomerate depending on their chemical composition were built, which can be adapted to any content of MW-PA CB10 masterbatch and humic acids. It was established that the polyamide-6 waste agglomerate with 2% wt. of masterbatch MW-PA CB10 has the best properties. The impact strength for this composition is 43.5 MPa, breaking stress during bending is 126.4 MPa, tensile strength is 342 N and elongation at break is 117%. The authors recommended utilizing the same composition in traditional fields of primary polyamide-6, such as manufacturing of engineering and technical goods.
