Photo-oxidative degradation of polypropylene/montmorillonite nanocomposites

The photo-oxidative behavior of the polypropylene (PP)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites and microcomposites has been investigated upon ultraviolet exposure using the technique of infrared spectroscopy. The rate of photo-oxidative degradation of PP/MMT nanocomposites is much faster than that of pure PP. The influence of pristine MMT, alkylammonium and compatibilizer were investigated, respectively. All these components can catalyze the photo-oxidation of PP matrix, in which the influence of compatibilizer and pristine MMT is primary. Moreover, the dispersion state of the clay particles in the polymer matrices has a little influence on the photo-oxidative degradation of polymer matrix. Consequently, an integrated catalysis mechanism of the photo-oxidative degradation of PP clay nanocomposite is proposed. It would provide benefit direction for the preparation and usage of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites (PLSN).     

Polypropylene/organically modified Sabah montmorillonite nanocomposites: Surface modification and nanocomposites characterization

The aim of the work is to extract, purify, and organically modify montmorillonite (MMT) of Lahad Datu, Sabah bentonite. The octadecylamine treated Sabah MMT (S‐OMMT) (2–8 wt%) was then melt blended with polypropylene (PP) and maleated polypropylene (PPgMAH) (10 wt%) via single screw nanomixer extruder followed by injection molding into test samples to examine the mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties of PP/S‐OMMT nanocomposites. Unmodified Sabah MMT (S‐MMT) and commercial grade MMT (Nanomer 1.30P) filled PP nanocomposites were also characterized for comparison purpose. X‐ray diffraction results showed that the interlayer spacing of S‐MMT increased after organic modification as Fourier transform infra‐red and elemental analysis evidenced the presence of octadecylamine. PP/S‐OMMT nanocomposites showed a better dispersion and strength compared to PP/Nanomer 1.30P nanocomposites due to its smaller MMT platelet size. differential scanning calorimetry and Thermogravimetry analysis revealed that the thermal stability and crystallinity of neat PP improved with the addition of all types of MMT. Dynamic mechanical analyzer showed that PP nanocomposites have higher storage modulus (E′) values than the neat PP over the whole temperature range. The new PP/S‐OMMT nanocomposites showed a comparable performance with PP/Nanomer 1.30P nanocomposites exhibiting promising future applications of S‐MMT in polymer/MMT nanocomposites. POLYM.

Effect of montmorillonoite modification and maleic anhydride‐grafted polypropylene on the microstructure and mechanical properties of polypropylene/montmorillonoite nanocomposites

Two types of modified montmorillonite (MMT) were achieved using octadecylamine as the modifying agent by the methods of dry process and wet route. Polypropylene (PP)/MMT nanocomposites were prepared using the melt mixing technique and employing maleic anhydride‐grafted polypropylene (PP‐MA) as the compatibilizer. The modification of montmorillonite was characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The effect of MMT modification and PP‐MA on the microstructure and properties of PP/MMT nanocomposites was investigated by SEM, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and polarizing microscopy. The results show that organic montmorillonite modified by wet process (WOMMT) has a large d‐spacing increment; whereas montmorillonite modified by dry process (DOMMT) shows little d‐spacing increment. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of composites incorporating WOMMT are better than that containing DOMMT. As a third component, the addition of PP‐MA benefits the formation of exfoliated structure and the dispersion of MMT in PP matrix, and hence, enhances the physical properties of the nanocomposite. With the presence of PP‐MA, the highly dispersed MMT increases the number of spherulite crystals, enhances the melting enthalpy, improves the thermal stability, and induces the desired tiny crazes more effectively. MMT increases the storage modulus (E′) and glass‐transition temperature (T_g) of PP because of the stiffness of MMT layers, but PP‐MA decreases them owing to its high melt flow index, both of which were in favor of improving the physical properties. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Morphological, optical, and barrier properties of PP/MMT nanocomposites

In this work, nanocomposites of polypropylene (PP) and organically modified montmorillonite (MMT) were evaluated concerning optical, mechanical, and barrier properties. The nanocomposites were prepared by melt compounding using a twin-screw extruder. The PP/MMT films were evaluated by measurements of oxygen and water vapor permeability, and to verify its efficiency as a barrier to ultraviolet radiation (by UV–Vis spectroscopy). MMT has demonstrated a high ability to improve the gas barrier properties of the PP. Furthermore, MMT showed optical efficiency acting as a UV absorber, and presented higher absorptions at wavelengths between 215 and 254 nm. These results suggest that these nanocomposite materials have great potential for applications such as films with superior properties for food packing.     

Effect of organoclay on the morphology, phase stability and mechanical properties of polypropylene/polystyrene blends

The effect of organically modified clay on the morphology, phase stability and mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) blends was studied using three molecular weight grades of PP. Maleated polypropylene was used, at a PP-g-MA/organoclay ratio of 1, to preferentially promote dispersion of the organoclay in the PP matrix. The MMT content was fixed at 3 wt% based on the PP/PP-g-MA/MMT phase and the PS content was varied from 0-100 wt% in the blend. All blends were processed using a twin screw extruder. The organoclay resides in the PP phase and at the PP/PS interface. The dispersed PS particle size is significantly reduced by the presence of MMT, with maximum decrease observed for the low viscosity PP compared to its blend without MMT. The blends with MMT did not show any change in onset of co-continuity, though MMT shifts the phase inversion composition toward lower PS contents. The phase stability of the blend was significantly improved by the presence of MMT; for blends annealed at 210 °C for 2 h the dispersed phase particle size increased by as much as 10x without MMT with little change was noted with MMT present in the blend. The tensile modulus of blends improved with the addition of MMT at low PS contents. Blends based on the highest molecular weight grade PP showed increase in the tensile yield stress up to 40 wt% PS in the absence of MMT. The tensile strength at break for blend increased slightly with MMT while elongation at break and impact strength decreased in the presence of MMT. Surface energy analysis model was used to predict the orientation and equilibrium position of the clay platelet at the interface based on the surface energies.

Effect of interlayer structure,matrix viscosity and composition of a functionaiized polymer on the phase structure of polypropylene‐montmorillonite nanocomposites

Polypropylene (PP)‐clay composites were prepared by melt mixing in an intensive mixer. Three grades of PPs with different melt viscosities were employed to investigate mixing characteristics and phase structure of the composites with various clays that belong to organically modified montmorillonite (org‐MMT). Depending on the matrix viscosity and nature of the organic layer in MMT, significant variations In the phase structure of the composites were found. In addition to the simple combination of PP and clay, various functionalized PPs were also incorporated in an attempt to enhance thermodynamic interaction between the org‐MMT and PP matrix. Major interest was focused on the effect of varying thermodynamic affinity between the components, on the phase evolution and mechanical properties of the composites. Within the available range of maleic anhydride (MA) content in PP, it was found that optimum content of the functional group exists, which balances favorable interaction with org MMT and tolerable homogeneity with PP matrix. Along with keeping the optimum MA content, it was also important to use a low viscosity PP matrix to achieve a mere random array of layered silicates. The observed phase structure was interpreted by using a model based on self consistent field theory.
