Synthesis and characterization of nylon 6/clay nanocomposites prepared by ultrasonication and in situ polymerization

Nylon 6 nanocomposites were prepared by the in situ polymerization of ε‐caprolactam with ultrasonically dispersed organically modified montmorillonite clay (Cloisite 30B®). Dispersions of the clay platelets with concentrations in the range 1–5 wt % in the monomer were characterized using rheological measurements. All mixtures exhibited shear‐thinning, signifying that the clay particles were dispersed as platelets and forming a “house of cards” structure. Samples with Cloisite concentrations above 2 wt % showed a drop in viscosity between the initial shearing and repeated shearing, indicative of shearing breaking down the initial “house of cards” structures formed on sonication. DMTA measurements of the samples showed an increase in the β‐relaxation temperature with increasing clay concentration. The bending modulus, at temperatures below T_g, showed an increase with increasing clay concentration up to 4 wt %. X‐ray diffraction measurements showed that all nylon 6/Cloisite 30B samples were exfoliated apart from the 5 wt %, which showed that some intercalated material was present. The nylon crystallized into the α‐crystalline phase, which is the most thermodynamically stable form. Preference for this form may be a consequence of the long time associated with the postcondensation step in the synthesis or the influence of the platelets on the nucleation step of the crystal growth. DSC measurements showed a retardation of the crystallization rate of nanocomposite samples when compared with that of pure nylon 6, due to the exfoliated clay platelets hindering chain movement. This behavior is different from that observed for the melt‐mixed nylon 6/clay nanocomposites, which show an enhancement in the crystallization rate. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The thermal conductivity of Nylon 6/clay nanocomposites

Nylon 6/clay nanocomposites (NCNs) of different clay loadings are prepared by melt compounding. The effects of clay loading and dispersion on the thermal conductivity of NCNs are investigated using XRD, TEM, DSC, and POM. The results show that the thermal conductivity of the exfoliated NCNs decreases with an increase of clay content; but the thermal conductivity of the intercalated NCNs does not decrease, indeed, it increase markedly at high clay content. Such results observed in the exfoliated NCNs are opposite to the expectation of the classic Maxwell thermal conduction model. The further investigations indicate that such decrease observed in the exfoliated NCNs is due mainly to the exfoliation of clay layers. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008     

Polyamide 6/clay nanocomposites using a cointercalation organophilic clay via melt compounding

Polyamide 6/clay nanocomposites (PA6CN) were prepared via the melt compounding method by using a new kind of organophilic clay, which was obtained through cointercalation of epoxy resin and quaternary ammonium into Na‐montmorillonite. The dispersion effect of this kind of organophilic clay in the matrix was studied by means of X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM); the silicate layers were dispersed homogeneously and nearly exfoliated in the matrix. This was probably the result of the strong interaction between epoxy groups and amide end groups of PA6. The mechanical properties and heat distortion temperature (HDT) of PA6CN increased dramatically. The notched Izod impact strength of PA6CN was 80% higher than that of PA6 when the clay loading was 5 wt %. Even at 10 wt % clay content, the impact strength was still higher than that of PA6. The finely dispersed silicate layers and the strong interaction between silicate layers and matrix decreased the water absorption. At 10 wt % clay content, PA6CN only absorbs half the amount of water compared with PA6. The dynamic mechanical properties of PA6CN were also studied. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Fiber breakage and dispersion in carbon‐fiber‐reinforced nylon 6/clay nanocomposites

In this paper, short carbon‐fiber‐reinforced nylon 6/clay nanocomposites are prepared via melt compounding, and fiber breakage and dispersion during processing are studied. The influences of clay and processing conditions on fiber breakage and dispersion are taken into consideration. It is found that the presence of organoclay can improve fiber dispersion, which is due to dispersion at the nanoscale of exfoliated clay sheets with large aspect ratio. The bimodal distribution of fiber length is observed in fiber‐reinforced nanocomposites, which is similar to that in conventional fiber‐reinforced composites. The improvement of fiber breakage at moderate organoclay loadings is also observed, which is ascribed to the rheological and lubricating effects induced by organoclay. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Modeling properties of nylon 6/clay nanocomposites using composite theories

The reinforcement of nylon 6 by layered aluminosilicates (LAS) and glass fibers was examined using the composite theories of Halpin-Tsai and Mori-Tanaka. Theoretical comparisons show that exfoliated LAS offer superior reinforcement to glass fibers owing to the filler's high modulus, high aspect ratio, and its ability to reinforce in two directions. The effect of incomplete exfoliation of simple stacks of LAS on nanocomposite modulus was also examined. Increasing the number of platelets per stack and the gallery spacing between platelets results in a dramatic decrease in reinforcing efficiency. The predictions were benchmarked against experimental data for nylon 6 nanocomposites based on organically modified montmorillonite and glass fibers. The quantitative determination of the morphology of the nanocomposites is non-trivial due to the large distribution of filler shapes and sizes present. Thus, a detailed experimental procedure for determining the aspect ratio of the nanocomposites is reported. The composite theories satisfactorily capture the stiffness behavior of both types of composites. Furthermore, experimental heat distortion temperatures and those predicted from modeling the dynamic mechanical properties of nanocomposites are in reasonable agreement.

Phase transition in nylon 6/clay nanocomposites on annealing

The γ→α crystalline phase transition in nylon 6/clay nanocomposite prior to melting was investigated by X-ray diffraction. The phase transition in the nanocomposite took place at 160 °C, 40 °C higher than that of nylon 6 at 120 °C. The transition extent in the nanocomposite was lower than that in nylon 6. This could be caused by the strongly confined spaces between layers, and the favorable environment for the formation of the γ phase in the existence of clay. Besides, the less grown crystallites of the α phase transformed from the γ phase in the nanocomposite began to melt at much lower temperature than its normal melting temperature.     

Solid‐state mechanical properties of polypropylene/nylon 6/clay nanocomposites

The mechanical and thermomechanical properties as well as microstructures of polypropylene/nylon 6/clay nanocomposites prepared by varying the loading of PP‐MA compatibilizer and organoclay (OMMT) were investigated. The compatibilizer PP‐MA was used to improve the adhesion between the phases of polymers and the dispersion of OMMT in polymer matrix. Improvement of interfacial adhesion between the PP and PA6 phases occurred after the addition of PP‐MA as confirmed by SEM micrographs. Moreover, as shown by the DSC thermograms and XRD results, the degree of crystallinity of PA6 decreased in the presence of PP‐MA. The presence of OMMT increased the tensile modulus as a function of OMMT loading due to the good dispersion of OMMT in the matrix. The insertion of polymer chains between clay platelets was verified by both XRD and TEM techniques. The viscosity of the nanocomposites decreased as PP‐MA loading increased due to the change in sizes of PA6 dispersed phase, and the viscosity increased as OMMT loading increased due to the interaction between the clay platelets and polymer chains. The clay platelets were located at the interface between PP and PA6 as confirmed by both SEM and TEM. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010     

Silicate layer dispersion in copolymer/clay nanocomposites

Factors of silicate layer dispersions in polymers have been studied with copolymers. The influence of the copolymerization ratio of copolymers and the alkyl chain lengths of organomodified reagents of organophilic clay has been examined. The dispersion of silicate layers in copolymers is dependent on the copolymerization ratios of the functional groups, that is, the polarity of the polymer matrix. The alkyl chain lengths of organomodified reagents also have an important influence on silicate layer dispersions. From a comprehensive viewpoint, the polarity matching between polymers and organophilic clay is an important factor for silicate layer dispersions in polymers. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
