Study on solvent permeation resistance properties of nylon6/clay nanocomposite

Nylon6/clay nanocomposite is prepared by mixing organized montmorillonite with nylon6 in HAAKE mixer. Solvent permeation resistance of the nanocomposite is measured to estimate the resistance to solvent permeation. The nanocomposite shows resistance to solvent permeation superior to that of pure nylon6. In addition, the clay content was found to significantly influence the solvent permeation resistance of nylon6, and the maximum improvement in barrier properties of nylon6/clay composite was found as the clay content reached an “optimum” value. By using proper composites and processing conditions, the permeation rate of toluene and ethanol in nylon6/clay nanocomposite is about 3 and 4 times slower than that in pure nylon6 at 50 °C. Our investigation indicated that the crystalline property of nylon6 has a strong impact on the sorption and diffusion of small molecules in the polymer. The improvement in solvent barrier properties of nylon6/clay nanocomposite is attributable to incorporation of an impermeable phase such as the layered silicate, improvement in crystallinity and decrease of crystalline dimension, which are evidenced by XRD, AFM, DSC and polarized optical microscopy (POM) studies.     

Preparation and characterization of polyamide 6/polyethylene blend-clay nanocomposites in the presence of compatibilisers and stabilizing system

Several compatibilising systems were added to high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyamide 6 (PA6) blends in the presence of an organically modified montmorillonite (OMM). All the blends were prepared by using a co-rotating twin-screw extruder and characterized by SEM, TEM and XRD analyses. In addition, the rheological behaviour and the mechanical properties - tensile and impact - were evaluated.The presence of OMM affects the dimensions of the polymeric phases in the blend but not their mutual adhesion, granted only by the compatibilisers.TEM, SEM and XRD analyses indicated that there is a strict correlation between the compatibilisation level and the final interlayer distance achieved by OMM.Even if some filled compatibilised blends showed a fairly good morphology - in terms of phase adhesion, dispersion and dimension - the mechanical performance was not so satisfactory. These results were interpreted considering the possible thermo-oxidative degradation of the organic modifier of OMM and the subsequent interaction between and the degradation products and the compatibilising systems. In order to prevent these phenomena, a stabilizing system was added to the nanocomposite blends. In this case, an improvement of mechanical properties was achieved.     

Unusual Crystallization Behavior in Nylon‐6 and Nylon‐6/Montmorillonite Nanocomposite Films

Summary: The crystallization behavior of nylon‐6 and nylon‐6/montmorillonite nanocomposite films with different heat histories was investigated by wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD). For nylon‐6 films isothermally crystallized above 170 °C or annealed at 200 °C and then quenched in ice water, a crystalline peak appeared at 2θ = 28.5°. This crystalline peak was strong in intensity for the former and weak for the latter. However, for nylon‐6 films cooled in air after isothermal crystallization or annealing, no crystalline peak at 2θ = 28.5° was observed in the WAXD patterns. For nylon‐6/montmorillonite nanocomposite films annealed above 140 °C, a crystalline double peak was observed between the α1 and α2 peaks. The possible origins of the peak at 2θ = 28.5° and the crystalline double peak are discussed.

Synthesis and thermal studies of flexible polyurethane nanocomposite foams obtained using nanoclay modified with flame retardant compound

This work presents thermal studies of nanocomposites based on the flexible polyurethane (PU) matrix and filled using montmorillonite organically modified with organophosphorus flame retardant compound. Flexible PU nanocomposite foams were prepared in the reaction carried out between reactive alcoholic hydroxyl and isocyanate groups with the ratio of NCO to OH groups equal to 1.05. The amount of an organoclay ranging from 3 to 9 vol% was added to the polyol component of the resin before mixing with isocyanate. The apparent density of PU foams was ranging from 0.066 to 0.077 g cm^?1. Thermal properties of the flexible PU nanocomposite foams were investigated by thermogravimetry and dynamical mechanical analysis. Glass transition temperatures (T _g) were defined as maximum peak on tanδ curve. Thermal decomposition was observed at 310–320 °C (calculated from the onset of TG curve). Tensile strength of the PU foams was determined using mechanical test. The microstructure of the nanoparticles and the composites was investigated by X-ray diffraction. Finally, it was confirmed that the thermal and mechanical properties of flexible PU nanocomposite depend on the amount of nanoclay.     

Synthesis of waterborne acrylic/clay nanocomposites by controlled surface initiation from macroinitiator modified montmorillonite

The nitroxide mediated controlled surface initiated polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA)/butyl acrylate (n-BA) was carried out with a macroinitiator modified montmorillonite. The macroinitiator was synthesized by the nitroxide mediated polymerization of vinylbenzyl trimethylammonium chloride (VBTMACl), methylmethacrylate (MMA) and styrene (S) at 90 °C using BlocBuilder®. The macroinitiator was exchanged with the sodium cations of the montmorillonite, to yield surface modified reactive montmorillonite. The bulk polymerizations of BA/MMA from the clay surface produced controlled molecular weight polymers that were able to exfoliate the clay. This controlled polymer/clay nanocomposite was used as masterbatch and further dispersed in monomers and miniemulsified to perform miniemulsion polymerization of BA/MMA (90/10 wt.%) at 30 wt.% solids content at low emulsifier concentration. The adhesive properties of the nanocomposites prepared with the masterbatch were proved to be better than those prepared with an organically modified clay.

The effect of composition and draw-down ratio on morphology and oxygen permeability of polypropylene nanocomposite blown films

Polypropylene nanocomposite blown films containing organoclay were prepared by melt extrusion followed by film blowing. The effect of quantity of organically modified montmorillonite, and the compatibilizer (polypropylene-g-maleic anhydride, PP-g-MA), also the draw-down ratio on the morphology and oxygen permeability of nanocomposite films were investigated. Various characterization instruments were employed to identify the morphology, crystallinity, and dynamic mechanical properties of nanocomposite films. The oxygen permeability coefficient was evaluated based on ASTM D1434.X-Ray diffractometry pattern for the most impermeable sample shows that the morphology of nanocomposite film is a coexistence of intercalated tactoids and exfoliated layers which is confirmed by transmission electron microscope micrographs. The results show that the oxygen permeability coefficient is influenced by the quantity of organoclay and compatibilizer, also the morphology and orientation of layered silicate.     

Multiple melting and crystallization of nylon‐66/montmorillonite nanocomposites

Nylon‐66 nanocomposites were prepared by melt‐compounding nylon‐66 with organically modified montmorillonite (MMT). The organic MMT layers were exfoliated in a nylon‐66 matrix as confirmed by wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD) and transmission electron microscopy. The presence of MMT layers increased the crystallization temperature of nylon‐66 because of the heterogeneous nucleation of MMT. Multiple melting behavior was observed in the nylon‐66/MMT nanocomposites, and the MMT layers induced the formation of form II spherulites of nylon‐66. The crystallite sizes L₁₀₀ and L₀₁₀ of nylon‐66, determined by WAXD, decreased with an increasing MMT content. High‐temperature WAXD was performed to determine the Brill transition in the nylon‐66/MMT nanocomposites. Polarized optical microscopy demonstrated that the dimension of nylon‐66 spherulites decreased because of the effect of the MMT layers. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation and Barrier Properties of Chitosan-Layered Silicate Nanocomposite Films

Summary: In this study, chitosan nanocomposite films were prepared using a solvent-casting method by incorporation of an organically modified montmorillonite (Cloisite 10A). The effect of filler concentration on the water vapor permeability, oxygen permeability, mechanical and thermal properties of the composite films was evaluated. The structure of nanocomposites and the state of intercalation of the clay were characterized by XRD. The water vapor permeability of pure chitosan films was measured as a function of relative humidity (RH). It was found that the permeability value increased with an increase in RH. The water vapor and gas permeability values of the composite films decreased significantly with increasing filler concentration. Permeation data was fitted to various phenomenological models predicting the permeability of polymer systems filled with nanoclays as a function of clay concentration and aspect ratio of nanoplatelets. According to the XRD results, an increase in basal spacing was obtained with respect to pure clay for chitosan/clay nanocomposites. This demonstrated the formation of intercalated structure of clay in the polymer matrix. Tensile strength and elongation at break of the composites increased significantly with the addition of clay, however the thermal and color properties of the films were not much affected by the intercalation of clay into polymer matrix.     

Physical and tribological properties of a new polycarbonate-organoclay nanocomposite

A new polycarbonate (LS2) nanocomposite containing a 3 wt% proportion of the organically modified montmorillonite bentone 2010 (B 2010) has been prepared by extrusion and injection moulding, and its tribological properties determined under a pin-on-disc configuration against stainless steel. The nanocomposite (LS2 + 3% B 2010) presents a 88% reduction in friction and up to two orders of magnitude reduction in wear rate with respect to the base polymer. The new nanocomposite has been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), and its thermal and dynamic mechanical properties have been determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) techniques. The nanocomposite shows a uniform dispersion of the nanoclay as pointed out by two different statistical methods. The good tribological performance of the new nanocomposite is attributed to this uniform microstructure and to the increase in the nanoclay stacking distance.
