Abstract: Polyamide 6(PA6) was plasticized by glycerol diacetate (GP), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and triethyl citrate (TEC). TEC showed a different plasticizing behavior compared to the other two plasticizers at the same dosage. When the amount of TEC was 3 %, the tensile strength decreased slightly, the impact strength increased 6 times, while the crystallinity of plasticized PA6 decreasd 21 % compared to neat PA6.

Key words: polyamide 6, glycerine diacetate, poly(ethylene glycol), triethyl citrate, plastication, mechanical property, crystallization
