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).

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.     

Bi12 TiO20纳米粉体的制备及其光吸收特性研究

Nano-cystal Bi12 TiO20 powders have been prepared by the chemical solution decomposition（ CSD）method using bismuth nitrate and titanium butoxide as the starting precusors. The powders were characterized by the thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis（TG-DTA）,X-ray diffractometry（XRD）and transmission electron microscopy（TEM）. The formation mechanism of Bi12TiO20 naocrystal has been analyzed. The UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra of the prepared Bi12TiO20 powders were measured to determine their optical absorption characteristic. The results showed that pure nano-crystal Bi12TiO20 powders could be easily prepared from stoichiometric precursor solutions at the annealing temperature 1550℃. A broad optical absorption band between 560-385 nm （about 2. 2-3. 22 eV）was observed for the prepared nano-crystal Bi12TiO20 powders.     

The influence of multiple modified MMT on the thermal and fire behavior of poly (lactic acid) nanocomposites

This work reported the preparation and physical properties of biodegradable nanocomposites fabricated using polylactic acid (PLA) and multiple organic modified montmorillonite (MMT). In order to improve the chemical compatibility between PLA and Na‐MMT, the surface of Na‐MMT was first organically modified by cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and resorcinol bis(diphenyl phosphate) (RDP) using ion‐exchange and adsorption technique. Both Fourier transform infrared and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated that CTAB and RDP molecules were intercalated into the galleries of MMT sheets to enlarge the interlayer spacing. Then, the PLA/MMT nanocomposites were prepared by a simple melt‐blending method. The XRD and TEM results of the nanocomposites indicated that the PLA polymer chains inserted into the galleries of co‐modified MMT (C‐MMT) and contained disorderedly intercalated layered silicate layers within a PLA matrix. The C‐MMT nanolayers were homogenously dispersed in PLA matrix, resulting in various property enhancement. The fabricated PLA/C‐MMT nanocomposites with 5.0 wt% addition showed significant enhancements (176%) in the storage modulus compared to that of neat PLA. The thermal stability and fire resistance were also remarkably improved. These improvements are probably because of both the physical barrier effect of the MMT nanosheets and charring effect of the C‐MMT. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synergistic flammability and thermal stability of polypropylene/aluminum trihydroxide/Fe‐montmorillonite nanocomposites

In the present study, polypropylene/aluminium trihydroxide/Fe‐montmorillonite (PP/ATH/Fe‐MMT) nanocomposites were prepared by melt‐intercalation method. This was been designed to determine whether the presence of structural iron in the matrix could enhance the thermal stability and flammability of nanocomposites. In order to prove the effect of Fe³⁺ in the structural silicate layers, samples of PP/ATH and PP/ATH/Na‐MMT (no Fe³⁺ in structural silicate layers) were prepared under the same conditions. Fe‐MMT and Na‐MMT were modified by cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). The nanocomposite structures were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was applied to test the thermal properties of nanocomposites. In addition, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) of PP/ATH/Fe‐MMT nanocomposites was increased, and no dripping phenomenon was found through the UL‐94 vertical burning test.

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.     

Structure Characterization and Thermal Properties of PMMA／Montmorillonite Nanocomposites via Emulsion Polymerization

Montmorillonite(MMT) modified with sodium silicate can change the arrangement of its layers fromedge-face and edge-edge to face-face. With the fine dispersion of the modified MMT in water, the cation-ex-change reaction was carried out with cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) to obtain organo-montmoril-lonite (OMMT). As OMMT was uniformly dispersed in methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer, PMMA/OMMT nanocomposites were formed via a common emulsion polymerization. The products were extractedwith hot acetone and characterized by FTIR, molecular weight, X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission elec-tron microscopy(TEM), DSC and TGA. These results show that most of the OMMT layers have been exfo-liated, while the thermal stability is increased obviously. By means of FTIR spectral analysis, the ratios ofthe macromolecular radicals‘ termination of disproportionation patterns to combination are increased with theaddition of OMMT. This result further confirms the increase of the thermal degradation temperatures andglass transition temperatures of the PMMA/OMMT nanocomposites.

Biodegradable poly(lactic acid)/chitosan-modified montmorillonite nanocomposites: Preparation and characterization

In this study, the biodegradable poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were successfully prepared by the solution mixing process of PLA polymer with organically-modified montmorillonite (m-MMT), which was first treated by n-hexadecyl trimethyl-ammonium bromide (CTAB) cations and then modified by biocompatible/biodegradable chitosan to improve the chemical similarity between the PLA and m-MMT. Both X-ray diffraction data and transmission electron microscopy images of PLA/m-MMT nanocomposites indicate that most of the swellable silicate layers were disorderedly intercalated into the PLA matrix. Mechanical properties and thermal stability of the PLA/m-MMT nanocomposites performed by dynamic mechanical analysis and thermogravimetric analysis have significant improvements in the storage modulus and 50% loss in temperature when compared to that of neat PLA matrix. The degradation rates of PLA/m-MMT nanocomposites are also discussed in this study.     

Preparation, characterization and application of polymeric diols with comb-branched structure and their nanocomposites containing montmorillonites

The polymeric diols with comb-branched structure (CPD) and their nanocomposites containing montmorillonites (MMT) were prepared through three-step reaction on basis of molecular design. The effect of experimental parameters, such as molar mass of oligomer polyols, catalysts and MMT on conversion of -NCO group during polymerization was investigated by utilizing FTIR to measure content of -NCO group varied as reaction time. In addition, the structure of comb-branched polymeric diols was characterized by FTIR and ¹H NMR. The results show that the comb-branched chains contain reactive CC double bonds in CPD. The nature of dispersion of montmorillonites in CPD was characterized by X-ray diffraction. The results show that Na⁺-MMT is exfoliated and organo-MMT is intercalated in CPD via in-situ polymerization. Finally, the properties of water-borne polyurethane modified with CPD or CPD/2T-MMT nanocomposite were compared with those of common water-borne polyurethane, and the comb-branched chains and 2T-MMT improve the properties of water-borne polyurethane.
