Physically crosslinked nanocomposite hydrogels based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) containing Na-montmorillonite were prepared by the cyclic freezing–thawing method. The primarily exfoliated morphology of prepared nanocomposite hydrogels was confirmed by X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) as complementary techniques. It is shown that some interactions developed between the hydroxyl groups of PVA chains and Na-montmorillonite silicate layers in the nanocomposite hydrogels. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results indicated some shifting in the glass transition temperature of the PVA hydrogel in the presence of the nanoclay. Swelling measurements showed that the swelling ratios of the nanocomposite hydrogels were increased either by decreasing the Na-montmorillonite content or by increasing the swelling medium temperature. Dynamic mechanical–thermal properties results showed higher storage modulus for nanocomposite hydrogels in temperature ranges both below and above 0°C. It was also found that the hardness of the nanocomposite hydrogels increased by increasing the nanoclay loading level. 相似文献
