利用荧光探针的溶致变色行为,研究了以不同阳离子表面活性剂处理过的化学修饰蒙脱土内腔的极性.清楚地观察到随所用表面活性剂长链碳原子数目的增多,荧光探针N,N 二甲氨基查尔酮在蒙脱土内的荧光光谱峰值波长移向短波,表明蒙脱土内腔的极性随活性剂疏水链长的增长而不断减小.本工作所得结果将对具体的插层材料(包括不同极性的聚合单体或聚合物分子)在插层时选择合适的表面处理剂有所帮助.     

不同链长的聚醚铵阳离子协同插层对蒙脱土性能的影响

为了制备高性能的聚合物/蒙脱土纳米复合材料,必须对蒙脱土(MMT)进行有机改性来改善蒙脱土表面的疏水性、提高蒙脱土与聚合物之间的相容性,同时也需要尽可能地增大蒙脱土的层间距.为此,提出了一种采用不同链长的聚醚铵阳离子协同插层MMT的新方法,即采用D2000(或T5000)聚醚铵盐与D400聚醚铵盐协同插层MMT,并采用X射线衍射分析(XRD)和热重分析(TGA)研究了协同插层对改性MMT的层间距、有机含量以及耐热性的影响.另外,也研究了插层过程中的搅拌方式和D400聚醚铵盐多次插层对改性MMT的层间距、有机含量等的影响.研究结果表明,采用长链聚醚铵阳离子协同插层更有利于提高D400聚醚铵盐改性MMT的层间距和有机含量;T5000协同插层MMT中总的有机含量(64.06%)进一步增加,这可能是因为T5000的支链在MMT层间形成的笼型结构既提供了更大的空隙,又起到了屏蔽作用,同时也得到了较大的层间距(6.86 nm).     

氯硅烷改性蒙脱土的制备与性能

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ORGANOMONTMORILLONITE AND POLYAMIDE 66/MONTMORILLONITE NANOCOMPOSITES

The montmorillonites (MMTs), layered, smectite-type silicates, were premodified by two different methods priorto the polymer melt intercalation. In one case MMTs were modified with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), andtermed as organomontmorillonites (OMMTs); in the other case MMTs were modified by nylon, and the products were calledmodified montmorillonites (MMMTs). The effects of CTAB and nylon on the MMTs were investigated by using TG andWAXD. The results show that interlayer spacings of CTAN and nylon modified MMTs are larger than that of sodium MMTs.Then, polyamide 66 (PA 66)/MMT nanocomposites were obtained through the method of melt intercalation of polymers. Thenanocomposites were characterized by WAXD, TEM and Molau experiments. The results indicate that the MMTs dispersehomogeneously in the PA 66 matrix. The mechanical properties of nanocomposites, such as tensile properties and flexuralproperties, were also measured and show a tendency to increase with increase of MMT content and reach the maximumvalues at 5phr MMT content. The heat distortion temperature (HDT) of the nanocomposites (7 phr) is about 32 K higher thanthat of pure PA 66.     

Preparation and characterization of anion‐exchange membranes derived from poly(vinylbenzyl chloride‐co‐styrene) and intercalated montmorillonite

In this paper, three organic intercalating agents containing cations [hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), poly(acrylamide‐co‐diallyldimethylammonium chloride), and quaternized polyethyleneimine] are used to prepare intercalated montmorillonites (MMT) by ion‐exchange method. Then the modified MMTs are doped with vinylbenzyl chloride and styrene copolymer [poly(vinylbenzyl chloride‐co‐styrene)] for fabricating composite anion‐exchange membranes (AEM). Fourier transform infrared, X‐raydiffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and Mastersizer laser particle size analyzer are employed to characterize the structure and morphology of MMTs and AEMs. The successful intercalation of MMTs is approved, and the MMT intercalated by CTAB shows an interlayer distance of 2.31 nm. The properties of the composite membranes including water uptake, mechanical property, and ionic conductivity are investigated. Among all the AEMs, the composite membrane containing MMT sheets with CTAB demonstrates better compositive performances. It presents an ionic conductivity of 2.09 × 10^?2 S cm^?1 at 80°C and good alkaline solution stability. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Preparation,characterization and application of a CTAB-modified nanoclay for the adsorption of an herbicide from aqueous solutions: Kinetic and equilibrium studies

In this study, surfactant-modified pillared montmorillonites (MMT) were prepared using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) by the intercalation method and used as adsorbent to remove bentazon from aqueous solutions. The main compositions of MMT and CTAB/MMT were characterized by Fourier transform–infrared spectroscopy (FT–IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron micrography (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. The removal efficiency of bentazon was studied as a function of adsorbent dosage, pH, initial bentazon concentration and ionic strength (sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium sulfate and sodium chloride). The removal efficiency of bentazon by CTAB/MMT was more than that of MMT in similar conditions. By increasing adsorbent dosage and initial bentazon concentration, the removal efficiency was increased and declined, respectively. The results showed that the maximum adsorption of organo-modified montmorillonite was obtained at pH 3. The maximum adsorption capacity was estimated to be 500 mg/g at pH 3 and room temperature. The study of the adsorption kinetic model revealed that the pseudo-second order model was the best applicable one to describe the adsorption of bentazon onto CTAB/MMT. Adsorption data were analyzed by both Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms and the results showed that it was better described by the Langmuir model. The adsorption capacities of the samples were found to increase with Na₂CO₃ anion saturation, while they decreased in the presence of NaHCO₃, Na₂SO₄ and NaCl.     

Dispersion and distribution of organically modified montmorillonite in nylon‐66 matrix

Nylon‐66 nanocomposites were prepared by melt‐compounding nylon‐66 with an alkyl ammonium surfactant pretreated montmorillonite (MMT). The thermal stability of the organic MMT powders was measured by thermogravimetric analysis. The decomposition of the surfactant on the MMT occurred from 200 to 500 °C. The low onset decomposition temperature of the organic MMT is one shortcoming when it is used to prepare polymer nanocomposites at high melt‐compounding temperatures. To provide greater property enhancement and better thermal stability of the polymer/MMT nanocomposites, it is necessary to develop MMT modified with more thermally stable surfactants. The dispersion and spatial distribution of the organic MMT layers in the nylon‐66 matrix were characterized by X‐ray diffraction. The organic MMT layers were exfoliated but not randomly dispersed in the nylon‐66 matrix. A model was proposed to describe the spatial distribution of the organic MMT layers in an injection‐molded rectangular bar of nylon‐66/organic MMT nanocomposites. Most organic MMT layers were oriented in the injection‐molding direction. Layers near the four surfaces of the bar were parallel to their corresponding surfaces; whereas those in the bulk differed from the near‐surface layers and rotated themselves about the injection‐molding direction. The influence of the spatial distribution of the organic MMT on crystallization of nylon‐66 was also investigated. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation of poly(ethylene terephthalate)/organoclay nanocomposites using a polyester ionomer as a compatibilizer

In this work, poly(ethylene terephthalate)/organically modified montmorillonite (PET/o‐MMT) nanocomposites were prepared via direct melt compounding in a twin‐screw extruder. The main objective was to study the effects of using a polyester ionomer (PETi) as a compatibilizer to promote the intercalation and/or exfoliation of the o‐MMT in the PET. The o‐MMT content was 0, 1, 3, or 5 wt % and the PETi/o‐MMT mass ratio was 0/1, 1/1, or 3/1. The PETi was efficient to promote the intercalation/exfoliation of the o‐MMT in the PET matrix, as revealed by wide angle X‐ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy. Rheological characterization showed that the PET/o‐MMT nanocomposites exhibited a higher complex viscosity at low frequencies than PET, which is characteristic of materials presenting yield strength. Moreover, the higher the content and/or the degree of intercalation/exfoliation of the o‐MMT, the more the nanocomposite behaved like a solid because of a percolated structure formed by the o‐MMT layers, and the more the storage and loss modulus, G′ and G″, became independent of the frequency at low frequencies. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Interactions between Nafion resin and protonated dodecylamine modified montmorillonite: a solid state NMR study

A series of nanocomposites have been prepared from perfluorosulfonylfluoride copolymer resin (Nafion) and layered montmorillonite (MMT) modified with protonated dodecylamine by conventional sol-gel intercalation. The structure of these nanocomposite materials have been characterized using FT-IR, elemental analysis, XRD and solid state NMR techniques, including 19F magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR, 19F NMR relaxation time measurements, 29Si MAS, 1H MAS, 1H-13C cross-polarization magic-angle spinning (CPMAS), and 1H-13C heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR) 2D NMR. The results showed that thermal stability of Nafion was improved moderately by the addition of dodecylamine modified MMT without intercalation. FT-IR and 29Si MAS NMR results indicated that dodecylamine modification did not result in obvious changes in the MMT lattice structure. The XRD results showed that the protonated dodecylamine has been embedded and intercalated into the MMT interlayers, whereas Nafion was not. Elemental analysis results also suggested that some dodecylamine was adsorbed on the surface of MMT. 1H-13C HETCOR 2D NMR experiment clearly indicated that strong electrostatic interactions were present between the NH+3 group of dodecylamine and the fluorine-containing groups (CF3, OCF2, and SCF2) of Nafion resin. Such electrostatic interactions are probably the major contributors for the improved thermal stability of the resultant composite materials.     

Exploitation of introducing of catalytic centers into layer galleries of layered silicates and related epoxy nanocomposites. I. Epoxy nanocomposites derived from montmorillonite modified with catalytic surfactant‐bearing carboxyl groups

Montmorillonite (MMT) was modified with the acidified cocamidopropyl betaine (CAB) and the resulting organo‐montmorillonite (O‐MMT) was dispersed in an epoxy/methyl tetrahydrophthalic anhydride system to form epoxy nanocomposites. The intercalation and exfoliation behavior of the epoxy nanocomposites were examined by X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The curing behavior and thermal property were investigated by in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and DSC, respectively. The results showed that MMT could be highly intercalated by acidified CAB, and O‐MMT could be easily dispersed in epoxy resin to form intercalated/exfoliated epoxy nanocomposites. When the O‐MMT loading was lower than 8 phr (relative to 100 phr resin), exfoliated nanocomposites were achieved. The glass‐transition temperatures (T_g's) of the exfoliated nanocomposite were 20 °C higher than that of the neat resin. At higher O‐MMT loading, partial exfoliation was achieved, and those samples possessed moderately higher T_g's as compared with the neat resin. O‐MMT showed an obviously catalytic nature toward the curing of epoxy resin. The curing rate of the epoxy compound increased with O‐MMT loading. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Influence of Fe‐MMT on crosslinking and thermal degradation in silicone rubber/clay nanocomposites

In this article, silicone rubber (SR)/clay nanocomposites were synthesized by a melt‐intercalation process using synthetic Fe‐montmorillonite (Fe‐MMT) and natural Na‐MMT which were modified by cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). This study has been designed to determine if the presence of structural iron in the matrix can result in radical trapping and then enhance thermal stability, affect the crosslinking degree and elongation. The SR/clay nanocomposites were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Exfoliated and intercalated nanocomposites were obtained. Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) and mechanical performance were applied to test the properties of the SR/clay nanocomposites. The presence of iron significantly increased the onset temperature of thermal degradation in SR/Fe‐MMT nanocomposites. The thermal stability, gel fraction and mechanical property of SR/Fe‐MMT were different from the SR/Na‐MMT nanocomposites. So the iron not only in thermal degradation but in the vulcanization process acted as an antioxidant and radicals trap. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
