RESUMO

The fast technological developments comes with the need to obtain more materials combined with better performance. Polimeric materials, commonly used in our daily because of its characteristics of good strength, good chemical stability, easy processability and low cost, are still restricted for some applications owing to their low mechanical and thermal properties compared to steel. In order to improve these characteristics, composite materials based on polymers are gaining an important space. Much has been reported on the effectiveness of inclusion of fillers at nanoscale in a polymer matrix, to obtain improvements in mechanical and thermal properties. The polyamide 11, widely used in offshore applications as coatings of risers, is one example of polymer which can has better properties with the use of reinforcement. The titanate nanotubes exhibit good mechanical properties with Young¿s modulus around 230 GPa and appear as good nanocomposite reinforcement. In this study, polyamide 11 composites reinforced with titanate nanotubes (TTNT) and TiO2 nanoparticles were manufactured. The nanotubes used have trititanate structure and the nanoparticles are the commercial type P-25 and were used in order to compare the results with the nanotubes, as the nanoparticles have a smaller surface area. The nanocomposites produced (A1, A2, A3 and A4) and pure polyamide 11 (A0 and Ap) were submitted to tensile tests, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A significant improvement on mechanical properties for samples A1 and A3 and for thermal properties in samples A1, A3 and A4 were observed when compared to pure polyamide.
