Effect of compound organification of montmorillonite on the structure and properties of polypropylene/montmorillonite nanocomposites

In this paper, reactive organic montmorillonite (RMMT), prepared with compound alkylammoniums, were used in ternary-monomer solid phase graft copolymerization in order to enhance the melting intercalation of montmorillonite (MMT), stabilize the intercalated structure, and prepare the exfoliated polypropylene/montmorillonite (PP/MMT) nanocomposites (PPMN). The structure and properties of PPMN were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscope (TEM), etc. Results show that the compound organification, solid phase graft copolymerization really favored the melting intercalation. The compound organification and exothermic process of the solid phase copolymerization promoted the melting intercalation. The mechanical properties, melt flow rate and Vicat softening point of PPMN significantly had a preferable reinforced state at 6–8 phr PP/MMT graft copolymers (PPGM). The increase of the mechanical properties and thermal properties was owed to the reinforcement of the exfoliated MMT and the compatibilization of the oligomers built by the polar monomers during the solid phase graft copolymerization. The improvement of the fluidity of PPMN derived from the plasticization of the exfoliated MMT and oligomers.

Preparation and characterization of poly (styrene-acrylonitrile) (SAN)/clay nanocomposites by melt intercalation

Poly (styrene-acrylonitrile) (SAN)/clay nanocomposites have been prepared by melt intercalation method from pristine montmorillonite (MMT), using hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (C16) and hexadecyl triphenyl phosphonium bromide (P16) as the reactive compatibilizers between polymer and clay. The influence of the reactive compatibilizers proportion relative to the clay on the structure and properties of the SAN/clay nanocomposites is investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The effects of the two different clays (MMT and organic modified MMT) on the nanocomposites formation, morphology and property are also studied. The results indicate that the SAN cannot intercalate into the interlayers of the MMT and results in microcomposites. In the presence of the reactive compatibilizers, the dispersion of clay in SAN is rather facile and the SAN/clay nanocomposites reveal an intermediate morphology, an intercalated structure with some exfoliation and the presence of small tactoids. The appropriate proportion with 3 wt% reactive compatibilizers to 5 wt% MMT induces well-dispersed morphology and properties in the SAN matrix. The TGA analyses show that the thermal stability properties of the SAN/clay nanocomposites have been improved compared with those of the pristine SAN. The DMA results show that the storage modulus and glass transition temperature (Tg) of the SAN/clay nanocomposites have remarkably enhancements compared with the pristine SAN. At last the intercalation mechanism of the technology is discussed.

Montmorillonite (MMT) with three types of cation or modifier (Na⁺, alkyl ammonium ion, and citric acid) was examined. The prepared nanocomposites with modified montmorillonite indicated a mechanical improvement in the properties in comparison with pristine MMT. It was also observed that increases in tensile strength and modulus would be attained for nanocomposite samples with 10%, 5% and 4% (by weight) of water, PVOH and clay loading, respectively. The clay intercalation was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. The chemical structure and morphology of the optimum sample was also probed by FTIR spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Investigation of physical and chemical properties of polypropylene hybrid nanocomposites

Hybrid nanocomposites fabricated based on an optimized physical and chemical properties modified polypropylene (PP)/polypropylene grafted maleic anhydride (PP-g-MA) with varied concentrations (1–7 wt% at a step of 2 wt%) of organoclay, montmorillonite (MMT). The morphology of the nanocomposites was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that partly intercalated and partly exfoliated structure (intercalated–exfoliated structures) existed in the system. The degree of exfoliation is a key factor to determine the reinforcement efficiency. The ratio of exfoliation to intercalation plays an important role in determining the properties of PP nanocomposites and only completely exfoliated silicate layers can significantly improve the properties. PP hybrid nanocomposites showed good thermal stability in the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Introduction of ∼3% MMT in the nanocomposites increased the onset temperature of degradation by 27.5 °C compared to that of pure PP, while the 5 wt% MMT resulted the maximum hardness in these nanocomposites. The solvent resistance of PP hybrid nanocomposites slightly increased with increasing the clay content.

Preparation and characterisation of polyamide 11/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites for use in angioplasty balloon applications

With increased demands on catheter balloon functionality, there is an emphasis to blend new materials which can improve mechanical performance. Polymer nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending polyamide 11 (PA 11) with organically modified montmorillonite nanoclay. The effects of incorporating the nanoclay on the short-term mechanical properties of PA 11 were assessed using a design of experiments (DoEs) approach. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis techniques (DMA) were used to characterise the morphology of the nanocomposites. Design of experiments studies revealed that the optimum nanocomposites properties can be achieved by carefully controlling the melt compounding parameters. XRD and TEM data proved that exfoliated clay morphologies existed within the matrix at low clay loading (2%). Whereas the interaction between the polymer matrix and nanoclay was quantified in the DMA spectra, showed a significant increase in storage modulus (up to 80%). The reinforcing effect of nanoclay within the PA 11 was further investigated using mechanical testing, where significant increases in the ultimate tensile strength and strain at break of reinforced tri-layer balloon tubing were observed.

Morphology,thermal and mechanical properties of PVC/MMT nanocomposites prepared by solution blending and solution blending + melt compounding

Two types of montmorillonite (MMT), natural sodium montmorillonite (Na-MMT) and organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT), in different amounts of 1, 2, 5, 10 and 25 phr (parts per hundred resin), were dispersed in rigid poly (vinyl chloride) by two different methods: solution blending and solution blending + melt compounding. The effects on morphology, thermal and mechanical properties of the PVC/MMT nanocomposites were studied by varying the amount of Na-MMT and OMMT in both methods. SEM and XRD analysis revealed that possible intercalated and exfoliated structures were obtained in all of the PVC/MMT nanocomposites. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that PVC/Na-MMT nanocomposites have better thermal stability than PVC/OMMT nanocomposites and PVC. In general, PVC/MMT nanocomposites prepared by solution blending + melt compounding revealed improved thermal properties compared to PVC/MMT nanocomposites prepared by solution blending. Vicat tests revealed a significant decrease in Vicat softening temperature of PVC/MMT nanocomposites prepared by solution blending + melt compounding compared to unfilled PVC.     

Synthesis and characterization of thermoplastic polyurethane/montmorillonite nanocomposites produced by reactive extrusion

The novel polyurethane/montmorillonite (PU/MMT) nanocomposites based on poly (propylene oxide) glycol (POP), 4,4′-diphenymethylate diisocyanate (MDI), 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BD) and MMT has been synthesized using a one-step direct polymerization-intercalation technique by twin-screw extruder. Its structure and thermal properties are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and High-resolution electron microscopy (HREM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), respectively. The results of XRD and HREM analyses show that the silicate layer is well dispersed in PU matrix and this mesostructure can be considered as a delaminated nanocomposites. The TGA analysis indicates that the thermal stability properties of the PU/MMT nanocomposites are increased slightly compared with the pristine PU, due to the increase of the char residue. The mechanical and flammability performances are examined by electronic Universal Tester and Cone calorimetry, respectively. The layered silicate, which acts as a high aspect ratio reinforcement, enhances tensile strength of the PU. Specifically, there is a 25% increase in the tensile strength of PU nanocomposites containing 4 wt.% MMT compared with that of pristine PU. However, the elongation at break of PU/MMT nanocomposites is lower than that of pristine PU. The loading of MMT leads to the remarkably decrease of heat release rate (HRR), contributing to the improvement of flammability performance.     

Optimization of the mechanical properties of polypropylene-based nanocomposite via the addition of a combination of organoclays

The properties of polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites are dependent on the quaternary ammonium salt in the montmorillonite (MMT). A nanocomposite with C-15A, which has a high cation exchange capacity (CEC), exhibits an increase in its impact properties, while one prepared with C-20A, which has a low CEC, shows an increase in the flexural modulus. In order to obtain enhancements in both properties, PP nanocomposites were prepared using a combination of 1:1 of C-15A/C-20A. X-ray, TEM, thermal properties, dynamical mechanical analysis (DMA), and mechanical tests were used to evaluate the properties of this novel mixture. Nanocomposites of partially exfoliated morphology were obtained, especially when 5 wt% of poly(propylene-graft-maleic anhydride) (PP-g-MA) was used. The mechanical tests showed that the use of a 1:1 mixture of C-15A/C-20A caused a simultaneous gain of approximately 12% in flexural modulus and a five times higher impact strength. In addition, the dispersion of the clay was more homogeneous, with the absence of agglomerated structures that were present when either the individual C-15A or C-20A was used. The DMA results showed that while the organoclay improved the modulus of PP, the T_g was decreased slightly.     

Elastomeric epoxy nanocomposites: Nanostructure and properties

In polymer layered silicate nanocomposites, significant differences have been reported between the effects of the nano-reinforcement on rigid and elastomeric nanocomposites. In this paper, we have studied elastomeric nanocomposites based upon DGEBA epoxy resin filled with montmorillonite (MMT) and cured with a long-chain polyoxypropylene diamine, for comparison with analogous rigid nanocomposites. Ultrasonic mixing was used to disperse the MMT in the matrix to improve homogeneity and decrease the agglomerate size. Two different methods of nanocomposite preparation were used in which the MMT was first swollen with either the curing agent or the epoxy before the addition of, respectively, DGEBA or diamine. A better dispersion of the nanoclay in the matrix and a greater amount of intercalation occurred when the MMT was first swollen with the diamine. The effect of MMT concentrations up to 8 wt.% on the mechanical behaviour of the epoxy/MMT nanocomposites was investigated. It was found that the addition of MMT increased the tensile strength and modulus, although SAXS and TEM indicated that a significant fraction of the clay layers were not exfoliated. Nevertheless, the addition of the clay resulted in changes in the fracture surfaces, as indicated by SEM, consistent with the tensile results and indicative of toughening.
