Polypropylene (PP) and polypropylene/polypropylene‐g‐maleic anhydride/ organomontmorillonite (PP/PP‐g‐MA/OMMT) nanocomposites were modified with 0.05 to 0.3% (w/w) of the aryl amide β‐nucleator to promote the formation of hexagonal crystal modification (β‐phase) during melt crystallization. The nonisothermal crystallization behavior of PP, PP/PP‐g‐MA/OMMT and β‐nucleated PP/PP‐g‐MA/OMMT nanocomposites were studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry. Structure‐property relationships of the PP nanocomposites prepared by melt compounding were mainly focused on the effect and quantity of the aryl amide nucleator. The morphological observations, obtained from scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X‐ray diffraction analyses are presented in conjunction with the thermal, rheological, and mechanical properties of these nanocomposites. Chemical interactions in the nanocomposites were observed by FT‐IR. It was found that the β‐crystal modification affected the thermal and mechanical properties of PP and PP/PP‐g‐MA/OMMT nanocomposites, while the PP/PP‐g‐MA/OMMT nanocomposites of the study gained both a higher impact strength (50%) and flexural modulus (30%) compared to that of the neat PP. β‐nucleation of the PP/PP‐g‐MA/OMMT nanocomposites provided a slight reduction in density and some 207% improvement in the very low tensile elongation at break at 92% beta nucleation. The crystallization peak temperature (Tcp) of the PP/PP‐g‐MA/OMMT nanocomposite was slightly higher (116°C) than the neat PP (113°C), whereas the β‐nucleation increased the crystallization temperature of the PP/PP‐g‐MA/OMMT/aryl amide to 128°C, which is of great advantage in a commercial‐scale mold processing of the nanocomposites with the resulting lower cycle times. The beta nucleation of PP nanocomposites can thus be optimized to obtain a better balance between thermal and mechanical properties. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011. 相似文献

This paper reports on the thermal behavior and mechanical properties of nanocomposites based on unsaturated polyester resin (UP) modified with poly(ɛ‐caprolactone) (PCL) and reinforced with an organically modified clay (cloisite 30B). To optimize the dispersion of 30B and the mixing of PCL in the UP resin, two different methods were employed to prepare crosslinked UP–PCL‐30B hybrid nanocomposites. Besides, two samples of poly(ɛ‐caprolactone) of different molecular weight (PCL2: Mn = 2.103g.mol−1 and PCL50: Mn = 5.104g.mol−1) were used at several concentrations (4, 6, 10 wt%). The 30B concentration was 4 wt% in all the nanocomposites. The morphology of the samples was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The analysis of X‐ray patterns reveals that intercalated structures have been found for all ternary nanocomposites, independently of the molecular weight, PCL concentration and the preparation method selected. A slight rise of the glass transition temperature, Tg, is observed in UP/PCL/4%30B ternary nanocomposites regarding to neat UP. The analysis of the tensile properties of the ternary (hybrid) systems indicates that UP/4%PCL2/4%30B nanocomposite improves the tensile strength and elongation at break respect to the neat UP while the Young modulus remains constant.

Acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS)–clay composite and intercalated nanocomposites were prepared by melt processing, using Na‐montmorillonite (MMT), several chemically different organically modified MMT (OMMT) and Na‐laponite clays. The polymer–clay hybrids were characterized by WAXD, TEM, DSC, TGA, tensile, and impact tests. Intercalated nanocomposites are formed with organoclays, a composite is obtained with unmodified MMT, and the nanocomposite based on synthetic laponite is almost exfoliated. An unintercalated nanocomposite is formed by one of the organically modified clays, with similar overall stack dispersion as compared to the intercalated nanocomposites. Tg of ABS is unaffected by incorporation of the silicate filler in its matrix upto 4 wt % loading for different aspect ratios and organic modifications. A significant improvement in the onset of thermal decomposition (40–44°C at 4 wt % organoclay) is seen. The Young's modulus shows improvement, the elongation‐at‐break shows reduction, and the tensile strength shows improvement. Notched and unnotched impact strength of the intercalated MMT nanocomposites is lower as compared to that of ABS matrix. However, laponite and overexchanged organomontmorillonite clay lead to improvement in ductility. For the MMT clays, the Young's modulus (E) correlates with the intercalation change in organoclay interlayer separation (Δd001) as influenced by the chemistry of the modifier. Although ABS‐laponite composites are exfoliated, the intercalated OMMT‐based nanocomposites show greater improvement in modulus. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008 相似文献

Thermal, mechanical and morphological properties of surface‐modified montmorillonite (OMMT)‐reinforced Viton rubber nanocomposites were studied. The surface of montmorillonite was modified with a column chromatography technique using quaternary long‐chain ammonium salt as an intercalant, which resulted in uniform exchange of ions between montmorillonite and the ion‐exchange resin, and increased the d‐spacing to 31.5 Å. This improved d‐spacing was due to the use of an ion‐exchange column of sufficient length (35 cm) and diameter (5 cm) with maximum retention time for exchange of ions. The Viton nanocomposites reinforced with OMMT (3–12 wt%) were prepared using a two‐roll mill and moulded in a compression moulding machine. Tensile strength increased 3.17 times and elongation at break from 500 to 600% for 9 wt% loading of OMMT in comparison to pristine Viton rubber. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that the presence of OMMT greatly improved the thermal stability. This improvement in properties with increasing OMMT loading was due to insertion of rubber chains between the OMMT plates with good wetting ability. Overall, at an optimum OMMT loading of 9 wt%, the properties of the Viton rubber nanocomposites improved, and subsequently worsened at 12 wt% due to agglomeration of OMMT as revealed by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy images. © 2013 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

Unsaturated Polyester (UP) resin is widely used for many applications such as reinforced plastic (FRP) and polymer composites. However, these materials suffer from their low mechanical and thermal properties. For enhancing their performance, researchers have used Tunisian montmorillonite (MMT) for manufacturing of unsaturated polyester-montmorillonite (UP-MMT) nanocomposite synthesized by dispersing the UP resin into the silicate layers of MMT. The MMT has been modified ammonium quaternary as organic cation (OMMT). Test results, supported by mechanical testing, X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis (DSC and TGA) and transmission electron microscopy, indicated that the mechanical properties and the thermal stability of unsaturated polyester with OMMT nanocomposite (UP/OMMT) are better than those of pure UP. The degradation temperature increased by 78 °C with the addition of organic modification, and SEM micrographs show good dispersion of modified montmorillonite in the polymer matrix. Tensile strength is increased by 81 % for the UP/OMMT nanocomposite. 相似文献

A novel reactive phosphorus–nitrogen‐containing monomer, N‐(2‐(5,5‐dimethyl‐1,3,2‐dioxaphosphinyl‐2‐ylamino)ethyl)‐acrylamide (DPEAA), was synthesize and characterized. Flame retardant poly(methyl methacrylate)/organic‐modified montmorillonite (PMMA‐DPEAA/OMMT) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ polymerization by incorporating methyl methacrylate, DPEAA, and OMMT. The results from X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that exfoliated PMMA‐DPEAA/OMMT nanocomposites were formed. Thermal stability and flammability properties were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis, cone calorimeter, and limiting oxygen index (LOI) tests. The synergistic effect of DPEAA and montmorillonite improved thermal stability and reduced significantly the flammability [including peak heat release rates (PHRR), total heat release, average mass loss rate, etc.]. The PHRR of PMMA‐DPEAA/OMMT was reduced by about 40% compared with pure PMMA. The LOI value of PMMA‐DPEAA/OMMT reached 27.3%. The morphology and composition of residues generated after cone calorimeter tests were investigated by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), TEM, and energy dispersive X‐ray (EDX). The SEM and TEM images showed that a compact, dense, and uniform intumescent char was formed for PMMA‐DPEAA/OMMT nanocomposites after combustion. The results of EDX confirmed that the carbon content of the char for PMMA‐DPEAA/OMMT nanocomposites increased obviously by the synergistic effect of DPEAA and montmorillonite. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

3,13‐Diglycidyloxypropyloctaphenyl double‐decker silsesquioxane (3,13‐diglydidyl DDSQ) was synthesized via hydrosilylation between 3,13‐dihydrooctaphenyl double‐decker silsesquioxane (3,13‐dihydro DDSQ) and allyl glycidyl ether. This novel difunctional polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) macromer was incorporated into polybenzoxazine (PBZ) thermosets to obtain the organic–inorganic nanocomposites. Compared to control PBZ, the organic–inorganic nanocomposites displayed the enhanced glass transition temperatures (T g's). Under the identical condition, the organic–inorganic nanocomposites exhibited the stable rubbery plateaus in the measurements by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, which was in marked contrast to control PBZ thermoset. The enhanced T g's and improved dynamic mechanical properties are attributable to the formation of the additional crosslinking between PBZ and the difunctional POSS macromer and the nanoreinforcement of POSS cages on PBZ networks. Thermogravimetric analysis indicates that the organic–inorganic nanocomposites displayed improved thermal stability. POLYM. COMPOS., 38:827–836, 2017. © 2015 Society of Plastics Engineers 相似文献

N,N‐Di(2‐hydroxyethyl)‐N‐dodecyl‐N‐methyl ammonium chloride was used as an intercalation agent to treat Na+‐montmorillonite and form a novel type of organic montmorillonite (OMMT). An OMMT master batch (OMMT‐MB) was prepared by solution intercalation and was used in the preparation of high‐temperature‐vulcanized silicone rubber (HTV‐SR)/OMMT‐MB nanocomposites. The properties, such as the tensile and thermal stability, were researched and compared with those of composites directly incorporated with OMMT or aerosilica. A combination of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy studies showed that HTV‐SR/OMMT‐MB composites were on the nanometer scale, and their structure was somewhat hindered by the presence of OMMT. The results showed that the tensile properties of HTV‐SR/OMMT‐MB and HTV‐SR/OMMT systems were better than those of pure HTV‐SR. Compared with those of HTV‐SR/OMMT‐20%, the tensile strength and elongation at break of HTV‐SR/OMMT‐MB‐20% were improved about 1.5 and 0.9 times, respectively. This was probably due to the nanoeffect of the exfoliated silicate layers. Moreover, the tensile strength of HTV‐SR/OMMT‐MB‐20% was nearly equal to that of HTV‐SR/aerosilica‐20%, and the elongation at break even showed much improvement. Additionally, the thermal degradation center temperature of the HTV‐SR/OMMT‐MB‐20% nanocomposite was increased by 30°C compared with that of the HTV‐SR/OMMT‐20% composite. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this work, Na+‐montmorillonite (MMT) was modified by hyperbranched polymer (HBP) and grafted with hindered phenol to improve the damping and other properties of the chlorinated butyl rubber (CIIR) composites. The hyperbranched polymer‐modified montmorillonite (HBP‐OMMT) was prepared by organic montmorillonite (OMMT) that was obtained from the cation exchange reaction between MMT and silane quaternary ammonium salt. The main characterization methods were Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance, X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometer, and thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The basal spacings of MMT, OMMT, and HBP‐OMMT were 1.47, 2.94, and 4.09 nm, respectively. The onset and center temperatures of decomposition (T?5% and Tmax) of HBP‐OMMT were improved from 301 and 369 °C to 332 and 398 °C, respectively. The CIIR damping composites were prepared by mechanical blending of HBP‐OMMT with pure CIIR. The tensile strength and elongation at break of the composites were improved from 5.4 MPa and 890% to 7.6 MPa and 1066%. From TG curves, T?5% and Tmax were increased from 297.4 and 406.0 °C to 323.3 and 410.5 °C, respectively. The dynamic mechanical analysis results showed that tan δ rose from the original 1.20 to 1.44 with the addition of HBP‐OMMT. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

With some polymerizable small molecules grafting onto the montmorillonite surface, we disposed the clay through in‐situ emulsion polymerization, and the structure of the modified montmorillonites were studied through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X‐ray diffraction (XRD). The nanocomposites of poly(styrene‐b‐butadiene‐b‐styrene) (SBS)/montmorillonite with excellent mechanical properties were prepared by mixing SBS and the modified montmorillonite on the double rollers at 150°C. The exfoliation of the layered silicates was confirmed by XRD analysis and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation. After mechanical kneading of the molten nanocomposites, the exfoliation structure of the silicates is still stable for polystyrene macromolecules grafting onto the silicates. Upon the addition of the modified montmorillonite, the tensile strength, elongation at break and tear strength of the nanocomposites increased from 22.6 MPa to 31.1 MPa, from 608% to 948%, from 45.32 N/mm to 55.27 N/mm, respectively. The low‐temperature point of glass‐transition temperature (Tg) of the products was about −77°C, almost constant, but the high‐temperature point increased from 97°C to 106°C. In addition, the nanocomposites of SBS and modified montmorillonites showed good resistance to thermal oxidation and aging. POLYM. COMPOS., 2009. © 2008 Society of Plastics Engineers 相似文献

Polymer nanocomposites consisted of biodegradable poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and organically modified montmorillonite Cloisite25A (OMMT), prepared by the solution‐casting method, were isothermally degraded for 120 min at 230, 235, 240, and 245°C in the nitrogen atmosphere. The addition of OMMT increases the thermal stability of PHB, and the most pronounced effect has the addition of 7 wt% of OMMT. Kinetic analysis was performed using reduced time plots and model‐free isoconversional methods. The empirical kinetic triplets (E, A, and g(α)) for the isothermal degradation of pure PHB and PHB/OMMT nanocomposites were determined. POLYM. COMPOS., 2010. © 2009 Society of Plastics Engineers 相似文献

The water absorption behavior of different types of organophilic montmorillonite (OMMT)‐filled polyamide 6/polypropylene nanocomposites with and without compatibilizers (maleated PP or PP‐g‐MA and maleated styrene‐ethylene/butylene‐styrene or SEBS‐g‐MA) was evaluated. Four different types of OMMT, i.e., dodecylamine‐modified MMT (D‐MMT), 12 aminolauric acid‐modified MMT (A‐MMT), stearylamine‐modified MMT (S‐MMT), and commercial organo‐MMT (C‐MMT) were used as reinforcement. The water absorption response of the nanocomposites was studied and analyzed by tensile test and morphology assessment by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The kinetics of water absorption of the nanocomposites conforms to Fick's law. The Mm and D are dependent on the types of OMMT and compatibilizers. The equilibrium water content and diffusivity of PA6/PP blend were increased by the addition of OMMT but decreased in the presence of compatibilizers. On water absorption, both strength and stiffness of the nanocomposites were drastically decreased, but the ductility was remarkably increased. Both PP‐g‐MA and SEBS‐g‐MA played an effective role as compatibilizers for the nanocomposites. This was manifested by their higher retention ability in strength and stiffness (in the wet and re‐dried states), reduced the equilibrium water content, and diffusivity of the nanocomposites. POLYM.

Microwave technology was introduced to assist the synthesis of polylactide (PLA)/organomontmorillonite (OMMT) nanocomposites in bulk by the in situ ring‐opening polymerization of D,L ‐lactide. Factors that influenced the polymerizing effects, such as the microwave power, irradiation time, and dosages of the catalyst and OMMT, were studied in terms of tensile strength. The polymerization time was decreased dramatically to 10 min under 90 W of microwave irradiation, and the mechanical and thermal properties of the PLA/OMMT nanocomposites were significantly improved. The composite with the highest mechanical properties was obtained when the dosages of the OMMT and the catalyst were 1.0 and 0.6 wt % of the lactide, respectively. The initial decomposition temperature of the PLA/OMMT(1.0 wt % OMMT) nanocomposite was heightened 11.5°C compared with that of pure PLA. The results of scanning electron microscopy confirmed an improvement in the toughness with the addition of OMMT. The transmission electron microscopy and X‐ray diffraction results indicate that an exfoliated and intercalated nanocomposite was successfully prepared. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Montmorillonite (MMT) was first modified with dodecyl dimethylbenzyl ammonium (DDA) salt and octadecyl trimethyl ammonium (OTA) salt. Then low density polyethylene (LDPE)/organic montmorillonite (OMMT) nanocomposites were prepared by twin-screw extruder and hot-press. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results showed that OMMT layers were homogeneously intercalated into the LDPE matrix. In terms of MMT, the modification effect of OTA is superior to that of DDA. CO2 and O2 barrier properties of nanocomposites were increased by 7 times and 4 times with 0.5 wt.% OTA-MMT loading, respectively. At 2 wt% OTA-MMT loading, water vapor permeability of LDPE has also decreased about 2.5 times. Compared with pure PE film, 49.5% and 178% improvement of tensile strength of nanocomposites films were obtained by addition of only 4 wt.% DDA-MMT and OTA-MMT, respectively. In addition, with only 0.5 wt.% OMMT loading, the onset degradation temperature of nanocomposites increases by 23°C and 26°C for LDPE/DDA-MMT and LDPE/OTA-MMT, respectively. 相似文献

Nanocomposites based on thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) were prepared by melt blending. Organically modified nanoclay was added to the TPU matrix in order to study the influence of the organoclay on nanophase morphology and materials properties. The interaction between TPU matrix and nanofiller was studied by infrared spectroscopy. Morphological characterization of the nanocomposites was carried out using X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The results showed that melt mixing is an effective process for dispersing OMMT throughout the TPU matrix. Nanocomposites exhibit higher mechanical and thermal properties than pristine TPU. All these properties showed an increasing trend with the increase in OMMT content. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that incorporation of organoclay enhances the thermal stability of nanocomposites significantly. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to measure the melting point and the glass transition temperature (Tg) of soft segments, which was found to shift toward higher temperature with the inclusion of organoclays. From dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, it is seen that addition of OMMT strongly influenced the storage and loss modulus of the TPU matrix. Dynamic viscoelastic properties of the nanocomposites were explored using rubber process analyzer. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010 相似文献

PET‐clay nanocomposites were prepared using alkyl quaternary ammonium and phosphonium modified clays by melt‐mixing at 280°C using a micro twin screw extruder. The latter clays were prepared by synthesizing phosphonium surfactants using a simple one‐step method followed by a cation exchange reaction. The onset temperature of decomposition (Tonset) for phosphonium clays (>300°C) was found to be significantly higher than that of ammonium clays (around 240°C). The clay modified with a lower concentration (0.8 meq) of phosphonium surfactant showed a higher Tonset as compared to the clay modified with a higher concentration (1.5 meq) of surfactants. Nanocomposites prepared with octadecyltriphenyl phosphonium (C18P) modified clay showed a higher extent of polymer intercalation as compared with benzyltriphenylphosphonium (BTP) and dodecyltriphenylphosphonium (C12P) modified clays. The nanocomposites prepared with ammonium clays showed a significant decrease in the molecular weight of PET during processing due to thermal degradation of ammonium surfactants. This resulted in a substantial decrease in the mechanical properties. The molecular weight of PET was not considerably reduced during processing upon addition of phosphonium clay. The nanocomposites prepared using phosphonium clays showed an improvement in thermal properties as compared with ammonium clay‐based nanocomposites. Tonset increased significantly in the phosphonium clay‐based nanocomposites and was higher for nanocomposites which contained clay modified with lower amount of surfactant. The tensile strength decreased slightly; however, the modulus showed a significant improvement upon addition of phosphonium clays, as compared with PET. Elongation at break decreased sharply with clay. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009 相似文献

Mesua ferrea L. seed oil based highly branched polyester resin was modified by methyl methacrylate through grafting polymerization technique. The nanocomposites of this acrylate-modified polyester and 1–5 wt% loadings of organically modified montmorrilonite (OMMT) nanoclay were prepared by an ex situ technique using strong mechanical mixing and ultrasonication. Formation of nanocomposites was confirmed by X-ray diffractometeric (XRD), scanning electron microscopic (SEM) and transmission electron microscopic (TEM) analyses. The absence of d0 0 1 reflections of OMMT in XRD and TEM study revealed the partial exfoliation of OMMT by the polymer chain. The homogeneous surface morphology was also ascertained from SEM. Mechanical and thermal studies of the nanocomposites showed an appreciable improvement in tensile strength and thermal stability by OMMT loading. The enhancement of tensile strength by 2.5 times and thermal stability by 32 °C for 5 wt% OMMT filled nanocomposite was observed compared to that of pristine system. The rheological behavior of the nanocomposites was also investigated and shear thinning was observed. Biodegradation of the nanocomposite films was assayed using two strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, SD2 and SD3 and one strain of Bacillus subtilis, MTCC736. The nanocomposites exhibited enhanced biodegradability as compared to pristine acrylate modified polyester. All the results showed the potentiality of the nanocomposites as advanced thin film materials for suitable applications. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)–organoclay nanocomposites with octadecylammonium ion‐modified montmorillonite, prepared via melt processing, over a wide range of filler loading (2–16 wt%) were investigated in detail. These hybrids were characterized for their dispersion structure, and thermal and mechanical properties, such as tensile modulus (E), break stress (σbrk), percent break strain (εbrk) and ductility (J), using wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and tensile and impact tests. RESULTS: Intercalated nanocomposites were formed even in the presence of 16 wt% clay (high loading) in PMMA matrix. PMMA intercalated into the galleries of the organically modified clay, with a change in d‐spacing in the range 11–16 Å. TGA results showed improved thermal stability of the nanocomposites. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the nanocomposites, from DSC measurements, was 2–3 °C higher than that of PMMA. The ultimate tensile strength and impact strength decreased with increasing clay fraction. Tensile modulus for the nanocomposites increased by a significant amount (113%) at the highest level of clay fraction (16 wt%) studied. CONCLUSION: We show for the first time the formation of intercalated PMMA nanocomposites with alkylammonium‐modified clays at high clay loadings (>15 wt%). Tensile modulus increases linearly with clay fraction, and the enhancement in modulus is significant. A linear correlation between tensile strength and strain‐at‐break is shown. Thermal properties are not affected appreciably. Organoclay can be dispersed well even at high clay fractions to form nanocomposites with superior bulk properties of practical interest.

Poly(lactic acid)/organo‐montmorillonite (PLA/OMMT) nanocomposites toughened with maleated styrene‐ethylene/butylene‐styrene (SEBS‐g‐MAH) were prepared by melt‐compounding using co‐rotating twin‐screw extruder followed by injection molding. The dispersibility and intercalation/exfoliation of OMMT in PLA was characterized using X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The mechanical properties of the PLA nanocomposites was investigated by tensile and Izod impact tests. Thermogravimetric analyzer and differential scanning calorimeter were used to study the thermal behaviors of the nanocomposite. The homogenous dispersion of the OMMT silicate layers and SEBS‐g‐MAH encapsulated OMMT layered silicate can be observed from TEM. Impact strength and elongation at break of the PLA nanocomposites was enhanced significantly by the addition of SEBS‐g‐MAH. Thermal stability of the PLA/OMMT nanocomposites was improved in the presence of SEBS‐g‐MAH. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012 相似文献

The PLA/OMMT nanocomposites were produced using a melt compounding technique with isopropylated triaryl phosphate ester flame retardant (FR; 10–30 parts per 100 resin). The flammability of the PLA/OMMT composites was evaluated with an Underwriter Laboratory (UL‐94) vertical burning test, and their char morphology was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The thermal properties of the PLA/OMMT were characterized with a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The thermal analyses showed that adding FR reduced the decomposition onset temperature (To) of PLA/OMMT. Both PLA/OMMT/FR20 and PLA/OMMT/FR30 showed excellent flame retardant abilities, earning a V‐0 rating during the UL‐94 vertical burning test. A compact, coherent and continuous protective char layer was formed in the PLA/OMMT/FR nanocomposites. Additionally, the DSC results indicated that the flexibility of the PLA/OMMT composites increased after adding FR due to the FR‐induced plasticization. The impact strength of PLA/OMMT was greatly increased by the addition of FR. Flexible PLA nanocomposites with high flame resistance were successfully produced. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.
