Abstract In this study, two types of nanoscale α‐Al 2 O 3 particles were used to prepare α‐Al 2 O 3 /Nylon 6 nanocomposite masterbatches. They were either uncoated or coated with stearic acid. A wide angle X‐ray diffractometer was used to examine the crystal structure of virgin pure nylon 6 and α‐Al...
