In this study, nanocomposites based on Nylon 6 and nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) were prepared by melt compounding. Then, morphological, thermal, and mechanical properties were analyzed for NCC content between 0 and 7 wt%. Morphological analyses showed different roughness in fractured surface of neat Nylon and its nanocomposites caused by the presence of NCC. Mechanical results showed that the optimum properties were obtained at 3% NCC which could be related to relatively good NCC dispersion at low concentrations with good Nylon‐NCC bonding. Overall, flexural (41%) and tensile (23%) moduli, as well as tensile strength (11%) were increased up to 3% of NCC. However, elongation at break and impact strength decreased with NCC addition. Finally, density and hardness showed only a small increase of 5 and 3%, respectively. POLYM. COMPOS., 37:1473–1479, 2016. © 2014 Society of Plastics Engineers
