It resulted that G is well dispersed in PA6 up to 2.0 wt owing to electrostatic contact. A clear increment in degradation temperature and a drop in extreme degradation degree is detected from the thermogravimetric experiment for PA6-G compounds. The G inclusion to PA6 amended flame-protection of PA6-G compounds by delaying smoke density and reduction of flammable gas. This work proved an appropriate formulation of polymer/G compounds applied to engineering materials; develop the types of compounds with nano-additives. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. date: 2022 publisher: Taylor and Francis Ltd. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85106301696&doi=10.1080%2f10667857.2021.1929722&partnerID=40&md5=b9f5c9ab537fc36e6af1dc6ab2ccee98 id_number: 10.1080/10667857.2021.1929722 full_text_status: none publication: Materials Technology volume: 37 number: 10 pagerange: 1251-1262 refereed: TRUE issn: 10667857 citation: Sabet, M. and Soleimani, H.
