AB  - In the present study, lithium chloride (LiCl) was utilized as a modifier to 
      reduce the melting point of polyamide 6 (PA6), and then 15 wt % microcrystalline 
      cellulose (MCC) was compounded with low melting point PA6/high-density 
      polyethylene (HDPE) by hot pressing. Crystallization analysis revealed that as 
      little as 3 wt % LiCl transformed the crystallographic forms of PA6 from 
      semi-crystalline to an amorphous state (melting point: 220  degrees C to none), which 
      sharply reduced the processing temperature of the composites. LiCl improved the 
      mechanical properties of the composites, as evidenced by the fact that the impact 
      strength of the composites was increased by 90%. HDPE increased the impact 
      strength of PA6/MCC composites. In addition, morphological analysis revealed that 
      incorporation of LiCl and maleic anhydride grafted high-density polyethylene 
      (MAPE) improved the interfacial adhesion. LiCl increased the glass transition 
      temperature of the composites (the maximum is 72.6  degrees C).
