Novel Copolymers as Dispersants/Intercalants/Exfoliants for Polypropylene-Clay Nanocomposites

The use of various copolymers as dispersants/intercalants/exfoliants in polypropylene (PP)-clay nanocomposites based on unmodified montmorillonite clays (NaMMT) has been explored. The primary objective of this research has been to find dispersants that allow PP nanocomposites to be formed by direct melt mixing, that are effective with unmodified clays and that comprise only a minor component of the overall composition both with respect to both clay and PP. Two classes of dispersants were investigated: PEO-based nonionic surfactants and amphiphilic copolymers based on a long chain (meth)acrylate (e.g. octadecyl acrylate) and a more polar comonomer (e.g. maleic anhydride, N-vinylpyrrolidone, methyl methacrylate). The state of dispersion achieved and the properties of the derived nanocomposites were found to depend strongly on both on the level of dispersant and its overall composition but interestingly properties are not particularly dependent on the dispersant architecture (i.e. whether statistical, gradient or block copolymer). The nanocomposites possess a tensile modulus up to 40% greater that the precursor PP while elongation at break and impact strength are significantly improved over “clay alone” composites and reference organoclay-based nanocomposites. Also notable are significantly better thermal and thermo-oxidative stability as compared to both PP and “clay alone” composites. For optimal properties, it is both necessary and desirable that the surfactant should only be a minor constituent (20–50 wt-%) of the composition with respect to clay.     

Preparation and characterization of PP/clay nanocomposites based on modified polypropylene and clay

X‐ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) methods have been used to investigate the crystallization behavior and crystalline structure of hexamethylenediamine (HMDA)‐modified maleic‐anhydride‐grafted polypropylene/clay (PP‐g‐MA/clay) nanocomposites. These nanocomposites have been prepared by using HMDA to graft the PP‐g‐MA (designated as PP‐g‐HMA) and then mixing the PP‐g‐HMA polymer in hot xylene solution, with the organically modified montmorillonite. Both X‐ray diffraction data and transmission electron microscopy images of PP‐g‐HMA/clay nanocomposites indicate that most of the swellable silicate layers are exfoliated and randomly dispersed into PP‐g‐HMA matrix. DSC isothermal results revealed that introducing 5 wt % of clay into the PP‐g‐HMA structure causes strongly heterogeneous nucleation, which induced a change of the crystal growth process from a three‐dimensional crystal growth to a two‐dimensional spherulitic growth. Mechanical properties of PP‐g‐HMA/clay nanocomposites performed by dynamic mechanical analysis show significant improvements in the storage modulus when compared to neat PP‐g‐HMA. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Morphology and properties of polypropylene/ethylene–octene copolymer/clay nanocomposites with double compatibilizers

The influence of nanoclay on the morphology and properties of the polypropylene (PP)/ethylene–octene block copolymer (EOC) blend with double compatibilizers of maleated PP (PP‐g‐MA) and maleated EOC (EOC‐g‐MA) was investigated and compared with the nanocomposites containing either PP‐g‐MA or EOC‐g‐MA as a compatibilizer. X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were utilized for morphological characterization in conjunction with dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, mechanical testing, and rheological evaluation of these nanocomposites. The results suggested that in the nanocomposite including both compatibilizers of PP‐g‐MA and EOC‐g‐MA, clay was dispersed as a mixed structure of intercalation and exfoliation in both phases of the polymer blend. Comparing the mechanical properties of the studied nanocomposite with nanocomposites of PP/EOC/PP‐g‐MA/clay and PP/EOC/EOC‐g‐MA/clay also indicated that the nanocomposite containing mixed compatibilizers displayed higher tensile modulus, tensile strength, and complex viscosity because of the better dispersion of clay in both phases. The results also confirmed the increased structural stability and reduced dispersed phase size of PP/EOC/PP‐g‐MA/EOC‐g‐MA blend in the presence of clay that proposed the compatibilization role of clay in this nanocomposite.

Fracture studies of polypropylene/nanoclay composite. Part I: Effect of loading rates on essential work of fracture

Polypropylene (PP)/Montmorillonite (MMT) nanoclay based composite was prepared by melt compounding with maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MA-g-PP) as a compatibilizer in a twin-screw extruder, and the test specimens were injection molded. Mechanical properties such as tensile modulus, flexural modulus, yield strength and maximum percent strains were measured for pure PP and PP based nanocomposite to establish the effect of clay platelet reinforcement. The fracture properties were measured by using the essential work of fracture (EWF) method. PP/clay nanocomposite shows 25% improvement in specific EWF compared to pure PP. The variation of EWF parameters with loading rate is discussed, whilst the mechanisms of fracture are considered in a subsequent paper.

Characterization and thermal degradation of polypropylene-montmorillonite nanocomposites

Polypropylene (PP)-montmorillonite nanocomposites have been prepared using isotactic PP homopolymers with different rheological properties, and a maleic anhydride grafted PP. Morphology and structure of the composites were investigated by using X-ray techniques (WAXD, SAXS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The absence of pristine clusters of the clay and the presence of intercalated and exfoliated structures were shown for all the investigated samples. The nanocomposite prepared by using maleic anhydride grafted PP showed a widespread exfoliation. The thermal behaviour and degradation have been studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The incorporation of the montmorillonite improves the thermal stability in air atmosphere of all the investigated PPs, thanks to a physical barrier effect of the silicate layers.     

Preparation of poly(propylene)/clay layered nanocomposites by melt intercalation from pristine montmorillonite (MMT)

Poly(propylene)/clay nanocomposites were prepared by melt intercalation, using pristine montmorillonite (MMT), hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (C16), poly(propylene) (PP) and maleic acid (MA) modified PP (MAPP), The nanocomposites structure is demonstrated using X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution electronic microscopy (HREM). Our purpose is to provide a general concept for manufacturing polymer nanocomposites by melt intercalation starting from the pristine MMT. We found different kneaders (twin‐screw extruder or twin‐roll mill) have influence on the morphology of the PP/clay nanocomposites. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that the thermal stability of PP/clay nanocomposites has been improved compared with that of pure PP. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The effects of reprocessing cycles on the structure and properties of isotactic polypropylene/cloisite 15A nanocomposites

The effects of reprocessing cycles on the structure and properties of isotactic polypropylene (PP)/Cloisite 15A (OMMT) (5 wt. %) nanocomposites was studied in presence of maleic anhydride-grafted-polypropylene (PP-g-MA) (20 wt. %) used as the compatibiliser to improve the clay dispersion in the polymer matrix. The various nanocomposite samples were prepared by direct melt intercalation in an internal mixer, and further they were subjected to 4 reprocessing cycles. For comparative purposes, the neat PP was also processed under the same conditions. The nanocomposite structure and the clay dispersion have been characterized by wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and rheological measurements. Other characterization techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), tensile measurements, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) have also been used to evaluate the property changes induced by reprocessing. The study showed through XRD patterns that the repetitive reprocessing cycles modified the initial morphology of PP/OMMT nanocomposites by improving the formation of intercalated structure, especially after the fourth cycle. Further, the addition of PP-g-MA promoted the development of intercalated/exfoliated silicate layers in the PP matrix after the second cycle. These results are in agreement with TEM observations indicating an improved silicate dispersion in the polymer matrix with reprocessing cycles displaying a morphology with both intercalated/exfoliated structures. The initial storage modulus (G′) of the nanocomposites, which was highly improved in presence of PP-g-MA seems to be less affected by reprocessing cycles at very low frequencies exhibiting a quasi-plateau compared to pristine PP/OMMT and PP. In contrast, the complex viscosity was found to decrease for the whole samples indicating that the main effect of reprocessing was a decrease in the molecular weight. Moreover, the thermal and mechanical properties of the nanocomposites were significantly reduced after the first cycle; nevertheless they remained almost unchanged during recycling. No change in the chemical structure was observed in the FT-IR spectra for both the nanocomposites and neat PP samples after 4 cycles.
