SMA/蒙脱石纳米复合材料增容PA6/ABS共混体系

采用原位插层法制备苯乙烯-马来酸酐交替共聚物/蒙脱石(SMA/MMT)纳米复合材料增容PA6/ABS共混体系,并与SMA及MMT的增容效果进行比较,运用TEM、SEM、DSC及XRD研究了增容剂SMA/MMT及MMT的增容机理.结果表明,采用SMA做增容剂,体系机械性能下降;MMT可使体系拉伸强度提高,但冲击强度下降;采用SMA/MMT纳米复合材料做为增容剂,可提高共混体系的强度及韧性.TEM、XRD、DSC及SEM研究结果表明,PA6/ABS/(SMA-MMT)体系中MMT主要分布于两相界面处,ABS及PA6分子链可进入MMT层间,形成类似于共聚物结构,起到增容剂的作用,从而降低分散相粒径,增加两相界面作用力,有利于体系力学性能的提高.PA6/ABS/MMT体系中MMT主要分布于连续相PA6中,虽然对分散相粒径影响较小,但增强了PA6相强度,使得体系力学性能提高.

Impact fracture toughness of polyamide‐6/montmorillonite nanocomposites toughened with a maleated styrene/ethylene butylene/styrene elastomer

Polyamide‐6 (PA6)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites toughened with maleated styrene/ethylene butylene/styrene (SEBS‐g‐MA) were prepared via melt compounding. Before melt intercalation, MMT was treated with an organic surfactant agent. Tensile and impact tests revealed that the PA6/4% MMT nanocomposite fractured in a brittle mode. The effects of SEBS‐g‐MA addition on the static tensile and impact properties of PA6/4% MMT were investigated. The results showed that the SEBS‐g‐MA addition improved the tensile ductility and impact strength of the PA6/4% MMT nanocomposite at the expenses of its tensile strength and stiffness. Accordingly, elastomer toughening represents an attractive route to novel characteristics for brittle clay‐reinforced polymer nanocomposites. The essential work of fracture (EWF) approach under impact drop‐weight conditions was used to evaluate the impact fracture toughness of nanocomposites toughened with an elastomer. Impact EWF measurements indicated that the SEBS‐g‐MA addition increased the fracture toughness of the PA6/4% MMT nanocomposite. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Influence of montmorillonite nano-dispersion on polystyrene photo-oxidation

UV photo-oxidative degradation of polystyrene/montmorillonite nanocomposites (PS/o-MMTs) and microcomposite (PS/Na/MMT), obtained via in situ bulk polymerization, has been studied in accelerated conditions. Imidazolium or standard alkylammonium surfactants were used to modify MMT. The chemical modification resulting from photo-oxidation has been followed using infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The rate of photo-oxidation of PS/o-MMT and PS/Na/MMT was faster than that of pristine PS. The results suggest that the photo-oxidative instability could be related to the degree of exfoliation and then to the presence of catalytic active sites on the MMT layer surface.     

Delamination of sodium montmorillonite in PA6 in the presence of melamine polyphosphate

This study describes the influence of melamine polyphosphate (MPP) flame retardant addition on layered structure of virgin sodium montmorillonite (MMT) in PA6/MMT system obtained in extrusion process. It was found that the extrusion of the PA6/MMT binary system in co‐rotating twin screw extruder gives intercalated clay nanocomposites, while during extrusion of ternary PA6/MMT/MPP composite, full exfoliation of clay was obtained in the system. Structure of the composites was proved utilizing wide angle X‐ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy techniques. Exfoliation of MMT in ternary PA6/MMT/MPP system was also confirmed by rheological studies (viscosity and creep measurements) which were carried out using rotational rheometer. Young's modulus of PA6/MMT/MPP was found to be ~25% greater comparing to PA6/MPP of the same filling level. Cone calorimetry experiments proved decrease of heat release rate peak of PA6/MMT/MPP by ~55% comparing to PA6/MPP with the same total filling level. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Effects of organic modifications of clay on the ultraviolet‐curing behavior and structure of a polyester‐acrylate/clay nanocomposite system

A pristine clay (Na⁺‐montmorillonite (MMT) and three different organoclays (20A‐MMT, vinylbenzyl dimethyldodecyl ammonium (VDA)‐MMT, and siloxane diamine ammonium (SDA)‐MMT) that originated from the pristine clay were used to prepare polyester‐acrylate (PEA)/clay nanocomposites by in situ ultraviolet (UV)‐curing. Except for the commercial organoclay (20A‐MMT), VDA‐MMT, and SDA‐MMT were prepared in this study by ion exchange method. The effects of organic modifications of the pristine clay on the UV‐curing behavior and structure of the nanocomposite system were investigated. The organic modifications of the clay affected considerably the UV‐curing behavior and structure of the nanocomposite system. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Preparation and nonisothermal crystallization behavior of polyamide 6/montmorillonite nanocomposites

Polyamide 6 (PA6)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were prepared via melt intercalation. The structure, mechanical properties, and nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of PA6/MMT nanocomposites were investigated by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), tensile and impact tests, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Before melt compounding, MMT was treated with an organic surfactant agent. XRD traces showed that PA6 crystallizes exclusively in γ‐crystalline structure within the nanocomposites. Tensile measurements showed that the MMT additions are beneficial in improving the strength and the stiffness of PA6, at the expense of tensile ductility. Impact tests revealed that the impact strength of PA6/MMT nanocomposites tended to decrease with increasing MMT content. The nonisothermal crystallization DSC data were analyzed by Avrami, Ozawa, modified Avrami‐Ozawa, and Nedkov methods. The validity of these empirical equations on the nonisothermal crystallization process of PA6/MMT nanocomposites is discussed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The influence of interlayer cations on the photo‐oxidative degradation of polyethylene/montmorillonite composites

The photo‐oxidative degradation of polyethylene/montmorillonite (PE/MMT) nanocomposite and microcomposite has been investigated. It has been found that the rate of photo‐oxidative degradation of PE/MMT nanocomposite and PE/Mⁿ⁺MMT (where Mⁿ⁺ stands for multivalent transition metal cation) microcomposites is much faster than that of pure PE. For the PE/MMT nanocomposite, the acceleration of photo‐oxidative degradation is due to the influence of MMT and ammonium ion, in which the influence of ammonium is primary. The decomposition of ammonium ion may create acidic sites on layered silicates; meanwhile, the complex crystallographic structure and habit of clay minerals could also result in some active sites. The reversible photo‐redox reaction of transition metal cations has a catalytic effect in the degradation of the polymer matrix. All these catalytic active sites can accept single electrons from donor molecules of polymer matrix and induce the formation of free radical upon UV irradiation. The generation of free radical leads to the oxidization and break of molecular chain. Thus, the materials suffer degradation and their mechanical strength decreases. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Maleic Anhydride Polyethylene Octene Elastomer Toughened Polyamide 6/Polypropylene Nanocomposites: Mechanical and Morphological Properties

A series of polyamide 6/polypropylene (PA6/PP) blends and nanocomposites containing 4 wt% of organophilic modified montmorillonite (MMT) were designed and prepared by melt compounding followed by injection molding. Maleic anhydride polyethylene octene elastomer (POEgMAH) was used as impact modifier as well as compatibilizer in the blend system. Three weight ratios of PA6/PP blends were prepared i.e. 80:20, 70:30, and 60:40. The mechanical properties of PA6/PP blends and nanocomposite were studied through flexural and impact properties. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to study the microstructure. The incorporation of 10 wt% POEgMAH into PA6/PP blends significantly increased the toughness with a corresponding reduction in strength and stiffness. However, on further addition of 4 wt% organoclay, the strength and modulus increased but with a sacrifice in impact strength. It was also found that the mechanical properties are a function of blend ratio with 70:30 PA6/PP having the highest impact strength, both for blends and nanocomposites. The morphological study revealed that within the blend ratio studied, the higher the PA6 content, the finer were the POEgMAH particles.
