Effect of a Nanodispersed Clay Fillers on Glass Transition of Thermosetting Polyurethane

In this work polyurethane (PU) matrix nanocomposite, obtained using an organically modified montmorillonite (OMM), was synthesized and characterized. An amount of organoclay ranging from 2% up to 6% by volume was added to the polyol component of the resin before mixing with isocyanate. The microstructure of the composites was investigated by X-ray diffraction. The glass transition temperature (T_g) of PU nanocomposites, measured using differential scanning calorimeter, increases with increasing the volume fraction of OMM. On the other hand, the heat capacity increment, ΔC_p, decreases from that the unfilled PU to that of the sample with 5.7% vol of OMM. Therefore a corresponding increase of the rigid amorphous fraction of PU nanocomposites with nanoclay was observed. Finally, the definition of molecular cooperativity was discussed for this system and the characteristic length of the cooperative region was determined, using the approach proposed by Donth.     

Synthesis of polyurethane/clay intercalated nanocomposites

 A kind of polyurethane/organophilic montmorillonite (PU/OMT) nanocomposite based on polyether, OMT, phenylmethane diisocyante and diglycol was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM). A polyether/OMT hybrid was first prepared in a nanocomposite form as confirmed by XRD. It was shown that there is a multilayered structure consisting of alternating PU chains stacked with the layers of the silicate layers in the microstructure of the PU/OMT nanocomposite as confirmed by study of the XRD patterns and the HREM images. The contents of the hard segment of PU and OMT had an effect on the basal spacing of the PU/OMT nanocomposite. Received: 29 August 2000 Accepted: 16 February 2001     

The characterization of prepared organomontmorillonite (DEDMAM) and sorption of phenoxyalkanoic acid herbicides from aqueous solution

The montmorillonite has been subjected to modification through ion-exchange reaction by N,N'-didodecyl-N,N'-tetramethylethanediammoniumdiiodide (DEDMAI). The modified sample was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The basal spacing of modified montmorillonite was determined as 28.72 A. The IR spectra of organomontmorillonite showed changes in C-H vibrations. The characterization of N,N'-didodecyl-N,N'-tetramethylethanediammonium montmorillonite (DEDMAM) and the adsorption of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 2,4-dichlorophenoxybutyric acid (2,4-DB), 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA), and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) on organomontmorillonite was studied as a function of the solution concentration. The adsorption energy (E) and adsorption capacity (qm) for phenoxyalkanoic acid herbicides adsorbing on organomontmorillonite (DEDMAM) were estimated using the Dubinin-Radushkevic (D-R) equation. These isotherms were modeled according to Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevic adsorption isotherms. The sorption of the herbicides on DEDMAM increased in order of MCPA<2,4-D<2,4-DB<2,4,5-T.     

Effect of montmorillonite on gelation and swelling behavior of sulfonated polyacrylamide nanocomposite hydrogels in electrolyte solutions

Nanocomposite hydrogels were prepared by cross-linking of aqueous solutions of sulfonated polyacrylamide/sodium montmorillonite with chromium triacetate. The gelation process and effects of clay content and ionic strength on swelling behavior were investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns indicated that exfoliated type of microstructure was formed. Study of the gelation behavior using dynamic rheometery showed that the limiting storage modulus of the nanocomposite (NC) gels decreased with increasing clay content up to 1000 ppm, but it increased by further increase of Na⁺-montmorillonite concentration. It was also found that with increasing the clay content, the viscous energy dissipation properties of the nanocomposite gels increased. The swelling ratio of nanocomposite gels in tap water decreased as the concentration of the clay increased. However, nanocomposite gels showed higher resistance against syneresis in electrolyte solutions as compared with unfilled gels. Therefore, they are potentially good candidates for enhanced oil recovery applications.     

Synthesis of exfoliated polystyrene/montmorillonite nanocomposite by emulsion polymerization using a zwitterion as the clay modifier

Montmorillonite (MMT) was modified with zwitterion aminoundecanoic acid (AUA). First AUA was protonized to facilitate molecules to get into the galleries of the montmorillonite to accomplish ion exchange, and the carboxyl groups were then ionized in the alkaline aqueous media to enable exfoliation of the clay. It was demonstrated by rheological measurements and atomic force microscopic studies that exfoliation of the clay driven by the electrostatic repulsion took place in an alkaline medium. Polystyrene/montmorillonite (PS/MMT) nanocomposite was synthesized via emulsion polymerization in the presence of the modified MMT. The exfoliated microstructure of the composites was studied by the X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The exfoliated PS/MMT nanocomposite showed a greatly improved modulus, a higher glass transition temperature and a better thermal stability compared to the neat polystyrene and the intercalated PS/MMT composites.     

Synthesis and characterization of novel segmented polyurethane/clay nanocomposite via poly(ε-caprolactone)/clay

A novel segmented polyurethane/clay (PU/clay) nanocomposite based on poly(caprolactone), diphenylmethane diisocyanate, butanediol, and poly(caprolactone)/clay prepolymer was synthesized as evidenced by FTIR and X-ray diffraction studies. Poly(caprolactone)/clay (PCL/clay) prepolymer was first synthesized in a nanocomposite form as confirmed by X-ray diffraction. X-ray diffraction study showed that PU/clay contained crystalline structure due to the presence of PCL/clay. In mechanical properties, about 1.4% PCL/clay in PU/clay resulted in a large increase in the elongation of PU/clay. However, when the amount of PCL/clay was 4.2%, the elongation of PU/clay was reduced drastically. This behavior indicated that PU/clay can be transformed from an elastomer to a thermoplastic material as the amount of PCL/clay in PU/clay increased. Additionally, the lap shear stress of PU/clay was at least three times that of neat PU as a result of the PCL/clay component. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Characterization and adsorption properties of tetrabutylammonium montmorillonite (TBAM) clay: thermodynamic and kinetic calculations

The montmorillonite has been subjected to modification through ion-exchange reaction by tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB). The modified sample was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) methods. The basal spacing of modified montmorillonite was determined as 14.40 A. The IR spectra of modified montmorillonite showed CH vibrations. The characterization of tetrabutylammonium montmorillonite (TBAM) and the adsorption of p-chlorophenol (p-CP) on organomontmorillonite was studied as a function of the solution concentration and temperature. The observed adsorption rates were found to fit to the pseudo-second-order kinetics. The rate constants were calculated for temperatures ranging between 25.0-35.0 degrees C at constant concentration. The adsorption energy, E, and adsorption capacity, (q(m)), for phenolic compounds adsorbing on organomontmorillonite were estimated using the Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) equation. Thermodynamic parameters (delta g(a) = -11.063 and -11.802 kJ/mol, delta h(a) = -30.032 and -30.789 kJ/mol, delta s(a) = -0.0636 and -0.0637 kJ/mol K for 298 and 308 K, respectively) were calculated by a new approximation from the adsorption isotherms of p-CP on organomontmorillonite. These isotherms were modeled according to Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich adsorption isotherms, through which the first-order and second-order coefficients (K(1ads) = 0.0152 and 0.0127 micromol/g min, K(2ads) = 0.0130 and 0.0108 L/min micromol, respectively) were obtained at 298 and 308 K.     

Polyurethane‐nanocomposite materials via in situ polymerization into organoclay interlayers

New nanocomposite materials based on polyurethane intercalated into organoclay layers have been synthesized via in situ polymerization. The syntheses of polyurethane–organoclay hybrid films were carried out by swelling the organoclay [12‐aminododecanoic acid montmorillonite] into different kinds of diols followed by addition of diisocyanate then casting in a film. The homogeneous dispersion of MMT in the polymer matrix is evidenced by scanning electron microscope and x‐ray diffraction, which showed the disappearance of the peak characteristic to d₀₀₁ spacing. It was found that the presence of organoclay has improved the thermal, solvent resistance and mechanical properties. Also, the tensile strength is increased with increasing the organoclay contents to 20% by the ratio 182% related to the PU with 0% organoclay. On the contrary, the elongation has decreased with increasing the organoclay contents. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

PROPERTIES AND MORPHOLOGY OF UNSATURATED POLYESTER/ACRYLATE-TERMINATED POLYURETHANE/ORGANOMONTMORILLONITE NANOCOMPOSITES

Unsaturated polyester resin （UPR）/acrylate-terminated polyurethane （ATPU）/organo-modified montmorillonite （OMMT） nanocomposites were prepared by the in situ intercalative polymerization method. Samples were prepared by the sequential mixing, i.e. mixture of the ATPU and styrene （S） and OMMT were prepared in the first step; UPR was then added to the pre-intercalates of ATPU/S/OMMT. Results indicate that the mechanical properties and thermal properties of UPR/ATPU/OMMT nanocomposites greatly depend on the amount of ATPU and OMMT. Results show that the addition of ATPU could increase the impact strength of UPR/ATPU composites, but the tensile strength, flexural strength and heat resistance of the materials are obviously decreased. When the weight ratio between UPR, ATPU and OMMT were 82：15：3, the impact strength and heat distortion-temperature of nanocomposite were greatly improved, meanwhile there was little change for other properties of the nanocomposites. The synergistic enhancement effects of ATPU and OMMT on the composites were observed. The structures and morphology of the composites were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy.
