The effects of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5wt% of TiO2 disperse nanofiller on mechanical properties of polyamide hexaglycol (PAHG) were investigated. Specimen was prepared by the hot vibration dispersion technique to make a PMNC. Hardness, tensile strength, ultimate tensile strength, young modulus, and impact at room temperature were tested. It has been found that enhancement in these properties starts at extra low weight percent (1wt%) nTiO2. The maximum effect of nano TiO2 addition was on tensile strength, and the lowest was on young modulus.

SR 8100 epoxy was doped with nTiO2​ nano filler to produce a semiconducting PMNC. The specimen made of SR8100/nanoTiO2 PMNC with nanoTiO2 content ranges from 1 to 5 wt% with 1% step prepared by hot vibrate dispersion (HVD). Morphology changes in polymer were detected by XRD and it has been found that SR8100 begins to have a crystalline nature when nanoTiO2 concentration was 3%, 4% and 5%. Electrical resistivity increases from 1*10−9 Ω m for SR8100 up to 2.3*10−4 Ω m for SR8100/5% nanoTiO2 PMNC which means that the material turns from an insulator to a semiconductor.
