Mechanical properties and standard deviation of Nylon 6 and the nanocomposites.

Nylon 6/nano-Cu	Tensile strength (MPa)	Tensile modulus (MPa)	Tensile elongation at break (%)
Nylon 6	65.13 ± 1.70	464.22 ± 10.12	3.00 ± 0.09
99.09/0.01	66.42 ± 1.42	475.08 ± 8.85	2.54 ± 0.06
99.05/0.05	69.39 ± 1.05	534.27 ± 11.26	2.11 ± 0.05
99.90/0.10	70.95 ± 1.30	582.13 ± 7.34	1.14 ± 0.03
99.95/0.50	64.05 ± 0.73	555.82 ± 12.41	1.38 ± 0.04

The total weight of each sample is of 100 g. Values shown with a ± symbol belong to the standard deviation.
