Morphology,Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Poly (Styrene-Acrylonitrile) (SAN)/Clay Nanocomposites from Organic-Modified Montmorillonite

Poly (styrene-acrylonitrile) (SAN)/clay nanocomposites have successfully been prepared by melt intercalation method. The hexadecyl triphenyl phosphonium bromide (P16) and cetyl pyridium chloride (CPC) are used to modify the montmorillonite (MMT). The structure and thermal stability property of the organic modified MMT are, respectively characterized by Fourier transfer infrared (FT-IR) spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results indicate that the cationic surfactants intercalate into the gallery of MMT and the organic-modified MMT by P16 and CPC has higher thermal stability than hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (C16) modified MMT. The influences of the different organic modified MMT on the structure and properties of the SAN/clay nanocomposites are investigated by XRD, transmission electronic microscopy (TEM), high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM), TGA and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), respectively. The results indicate that the SAN cannot intercalate into the interlayers of the pristine MMT and results in microcomposites. However, the dispersion of the organic-modified MMT in the SAN is rather facile and the SAN nanocomposites reveal an intermediate morphology, an intercalated structure with some exfoliation and the presence of small tactoids. The thermal stability and the char residue at 700°C of the SAN/clay nanocomposites have remarkably enhancements compared with pure SAN. DMA measurements show that the silicate clays improve the storage modulus and glass transition temperature (Tg) of the SAN matrix in the nanocomposites.

Effects of Charring Agents on the Thermal and Flammability Properties of Intumescent Flame-Retardant HDPE-based Clay Nanocomposites

Intumescent flame-retardant (IFR) high-density polyethylene, poly[ethylene-co-(vinyl acetate)], and organically-modified clay nanocomposites consisting of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and other charring agents, as well as the nanocomposites pentaerythritol (PER), polyamide-6 (PA), and PA/OMT were investigated. Their thermal and flammability properties have been characterized by thermogravimetric analyses, cone calorimetry, a limiting oxygen index, and the UL-94 test. Results show that the PER-contained sample exhibits different thermal and flammability behaviors from the samples containing polymer charring agents.

Highly Exfoliated Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate)/Clay Nanocomposites via Melt Compounding: Effects of Silane Grafting

The ammonium intercalated montmorillonite (A-MMT), especially acid treated montmorillonite (H-S-A-MMT), which experienced silane grafting treatment, exhibited highly exfoliation state in poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) matrix. It can be explained that the shear stress was transferred effectively from molten polymer to clay layers during melting processing due to the enhanced polymer-clay interaction by the grafted silane, leading to the slippage and peeling of clay sheets. Furthermore, the equilibrium melting point reduction of highly exfoliated nanocomposite calculated by the Hoffman-Weeks formula exhibited great miscibility between clay and polymer, which was proved by the Nishi-Wang equation.
