Preparation of polystyrene/montmorillonite nanocomposites in supercritical carbon dioxide
Authors:Chong Yan  Li Ma  Jichu Yang
Abstract:The preparation of polystyrene (PS)/montmorillonite (MMT) composites in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC? CO2) was studied. Lipophilic organically modified MMT can be produced through an ion‐exchange reaction between native hydrophilic MMT and an intercalating agent (alkyl ammonium). PS/clay composites were prepared by free‐radical precipitation polymerization of styrene containing dispersed clay. X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy indicated that intercalation of MMT was achieved. PS/clay composites have a higher thermal decomposition temperature and lower glass‐transition temperature than pure PS. The IR spectrum analysis showed that the solvent of SC? CO2 did not change the structures of the PS molecules, but there were some chemical interactions between the PS and the clay in the composites. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
