Polyamide-6 (PA6)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were prepared via melt compounding. Maleated acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS-g- MA) core-shell structural rubber particles were first introduced to toughen PA6/MMT nanocomposites. Before melt intercalation, MMT was treated with an organic surfactant agent. XRD and TEM results showed that MMT platelets were completely exfoliated in the PA6 matrix. And when the core-shell rubber particles were introduced into the nanocomposites, they were well dispersed in the matrix. Tensile and impact tests showed that a small amount of MMT could increase the yield strength but sacrifice the toughness. However when core-shell rubber particles were added into the nanocomposites, the tensile ductility and impact strength improved greatly. It was reasonable to say that the addition of core-shell particles could make the balance of the stiffness and toughness of nanocomposites.
