[en] Polyamide 6 (PA6) and montmorillonite clay nano composites were prepared by twin-screw extruder using three different screw speeds: 150, 250 and 350 rpm. The processed samples were submitted to the characterization by x-ray diffraction (XRD) through thin films to analyze the clay dispersion in PA6. Despite the 250 rpm processed sample present better dispersion, the result could not be significant compared to the others. The 250 rpm processed sample were characterized by mechanical tests which presented increase of the apparent elastic modulus and tensile resistance while there was the decrease of the elongation at break and the impact resistance of the nanocomposite compared to the pure PA6. The evaluation of the crystallinity of nanocomposites was performed by XRD in the longitudinal and transversal direction to the flow injection of impact samples and shows that montmorillonite acts as nucleating agent and promotes an increase of crystallinity of PA6. The crystallinity obtained in the longitudinal direction of injection flow was higher due to the orientation of the chains imposed by the injection flow. (author)
