We synthesized nylon 6-clay hybrid materials using four types of clay minerals, montmorillonite, saponite, hectrite, and synthetic mica. The mechanical properties of their injection molded specimens were measured according to ASTM. Nylon 6-clay hybrid using montmorillonite was superior to the other hybrids in mechanical properties. This might result from the difference in the interaction between nylon molecules and silicates in the hybrids. To clarify this hypothesis, we synthesized intercalated compounds of the clay minerals with glycine as the model of the hybrids, and analyzed the interaction using N-15 cross polarization magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) NMR spectroscopy. The N-15-NMR result reveals that the positive charge density on the nitrogen of the intercalated compound based on montmorillonite was largest in all the intercalated compounds. It was suggested that montmorillonite interacted strongly with nylon 6 by ionic interaction. This ionic interaction was one of the reasons why these hybrid materials had superior mechanical properties.
