At the physical level, the four-needle zinc oxide whiskers (surface modified with silane coupling agent) form a three-dimensional network skeleton in the nylon matrix, effectively transmitting stress and limiting molecular chain slippage. At the chemical level, its surface hydroxyl groups form hydrogen bonds with nylon amide groups to enhance the interface bonding force.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Patent Evidence: Shanghai Kingfa Technology\u2019s nylon composite material patent shows that adding 15-25 parts of modified zinc oxide whiskers (with a mass ratio of 1:1.2~1.9 to glass fiber) can increase the tensile strength by 78.84% and the impact strength by 14.49% compared with pure nylon.<\/li>\n<li>Process Key: Accurately control the extrusion temperature (240-260\u2103) through melt blending to avoid high temperature yellowing and ensure the integrity of the network structure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"2-flame-retardant-performance-breakthrough-repairer-of-carbon-layer-structure\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Flame_retardant_performance_breakthrough_%E2%80%9CRepairer%E2%80%9D_of_carbon_layer_structure\"><\/span>2.

Experiments show that a 2.0% addition increases the limiting oxygen index (LOI) of nylon 66 by 11.19%, reaching UL94 V-0 level; excessive addition destroys the carbon layer structure.<\/li>\n<li>Microscopic evidence: SEM observations show that cracks in the modified carbon layer are reduced by 80%, the heat insulation and oxygen isolation efficiency are significantly improved, and the molten droplets are effectively suppressed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"3-the-guardian-of-thermal-stability-and-dimensional-accuracy\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_The_guardian_of_thermal_stability_and_dimensional_accuracy\"><\/span>3.
