Fillers are used along with various commodity as well as engineering polymers to improve the properties of polymers. The performance of filled polymers is generally decided on the basis of the interface attraction of filler and polymers. Fillers of widely varying particle size and surface characteristics are responsive to the interfacial interactions with polymers. The present study deals with the effect of a coupling agent, tetra isopropyl titanate (TPT), on the properties of flyash filled nylon 6. It is observed that tensile strength, impact strength, and heat distortion temperature improved with the addition of TPT as compared to without the coupling agent filled nylon 6.
