A series of polymer/clay nanocomposites containing mechanistically two different polymers, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(epsilon caprolactone) (PCL), were prepared by simultaneous copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition click reactions. Both clickable polymers, PEG-Alkyne and PCL-Alkyne, were simultaneously clicked on to azide-functional montmorillonite (MMT-N3) nanoclay to get corresponding PEG-PCL/MMT nanocomposites. The chemical structures of the resulting nanocomposites were verified by following azide and silicone-oxygen bands using FT-IR and characteristic bands of PEG and PCL segments using 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The combined XRD and TEM analysis confirmed that all PEG-PCL/MMT nanocomposites had partially exfoliated/intercalated morphologies. In addition, the increase of MMT-N3 loading not only improved the onset and maximum degradation temperatures of the nanocomposites but also their char yields. Furthermore, the incorporation of MMT-N3 in the polymer matrix did not significantly influence the crystallization behavior of both PEG and PCL segments. 相似文献

The fabrication of syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS)/organoclay nanocomposite was conducted via a stepwise mixing process with poly(styrene‐co‐vinyloxazolin) (OPS), that is, melt intercalation of OPS into organoclay followed by blending with sPS. The microstructure of nanocomposite mainly depended on the arrangement type of the organic modifier in clay gallery. When organoclays that have a lateral bilayer arrangement were used, an exfoliated structure was obtained, whereas an intercalated structure was obtained when organoclay with a paraffinic monolayer arrangement were used. The thermal and mechanical properties of sPS nanocomposites were investigated in relation to their microstructures. From the thermograms of nonisothermal crystallization and melting, nanocomposites exhibited an enhanced overall crystallization rate but had less reduced crystallinity than a matrix polymer. Clay layers dispersed in a matrix polymer may serve as a nucleating agent and hinder the crystal growth of polymer chains. As a comparison of the two nanocomposites with different microstructures, because of the high degree of dispersion of its clay layer the exfoliated nanocomposite exhibited a faster crystallization rate and a lower degree of crystallinity than the intercalated one. Nanocomposites exhibited higher mechanical properties, such as strength and stiffness, than the matrix polymer as observed in the dynamic mechanical analysis and tensile tests. Exfoliated nanocomposites showed more enhanced mechanical properties than intercalated ones because of the uniformly dispersed clay layers. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The effect of organo‐modified clay (Cloisite 93A) on the crystal structure and isothermal crystallization behavior of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) in iPP/clay nanocomposites prepared by latex technology was investigated by wide angle X‐ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and polarized optical microscopy. The X‐ray diffraction results indicated that the higher clay loading promotes the formation of the β‐phase crystallites, as evidenced by the appearance of a new peak corresponding to the (300) reflection of β‐iPP. Analysis of the isothermal crystallization showed that the PP nanocomposite (1% C93A) exhibited higher crystallization rates than the neat PP. The unfilled iPP matrix and nanocomposites clearly shows double melting behavior; the shape of the melting transition progressively changes toward single melting with increasing crystallization temperature. The fold surface free energy (σe) of polymer chains in the nanocomposites was lower than that in the PP latex (PPL). It should be reasonable to treat C93A as a good nucleating agent for the crystallization of PPL, which plays a determinant effect on the reduction in σe during the isothermal crystallization of the nanocomposites. The activation energy, ΔEa, decreased with the incorporation of clay nanoparticles into the matrix, which in turn indicates that the nucleation process is facilitated by the presence of clay. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Poly(styrene‐co‐butyl acrylate) copolymers were prepared by free‐radical random copolymerization of styrene and butyl acrylate in emulsion in the presence of 10% of surface‐modified sodium montmorillonite (Na‐MMT). The objective of this work was to evaluate the impact of the clay organic modifier in terms of its chemical structure, its degree of interaction within the clay galleries surface, and its ability to copolymerize with monomers, on the morphology and properties of the final nanocomposite prepared. Na‐MMT was modified using different organic modifiers, namely: sodium 1‐allyloxy‐2‐hydroxypropyl (Cops), 2‐acrylamido‐2‐methyl‐1‐propanesulfonic acid (AMPS), N‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPA), and sodium 11‐methacryloyloxy‐undecan‐1‐yl sulfate (MET), respectively. The morphology and properties of the nanocomposites obtained were found to be dependant on the clay organic modifier. X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy indicated that, nanocomposites at 10% clay loading with Cops‐, NIPA‐, and MET‐modified clays, yielded intercalated to partially exfoliated structures, whereas AMPS‐modified clay gave a nanocomposite with a fully exfoliated structure. All polymer–clay nanocomposites were found to be more thermally stable than neat poly(S‐co‐BA) as were determined by TGA. However, nanocomposites with intercalated structures exhibited greater thermal stability relative to fully exfoliated ones. Furthermore, nanocomposites with exfoliated structures exhibited higher storage moduli (GI) than partially exfoliated once, whereas intercalated structure showed the lowest GI values. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Highly exfoliated isotactic‐polypropylene/alkyl‐imidazolium modified montmorillonite (PP/IMMT) nanocomposites have been prepared via in situ intercalative polymerization. TEM and XRD results indicated that the obtained composites were highly exfoliated PP/IMMT nanocomposites and the average thickness of IMMT in PP matrix was less than 10 nm, and the distance between adjacent IMMT particles was in the range of 20–200 nm. The isothermal crystallization kinetics of highly exfoliated PP/IMMT nanocomposites were investigated by using differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) and polarized optical microscope (POM). The crystallization half‐time t1/2, crystallization peak time tmax, and the Avrami crystallization rate constant Kn showed that the nanosilicate layers accelerate the overall crystallization rate greatly due to the nucleation effect, and the crystallization rate was increased with the increase in MMT content. Meanwhile, the crystallinity of PP in nanocomposites decreased with the increase in clay content which indicated the PP chains were confined by the nanosilicate layers during the crystallization process. Although the well‐dispersed silicate layers did not have much influence on spherulites growth rate, the nucleation rate and the nuclei density increased significantly. Accordingly, the spherulite size decreased with the increase in MMT content. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 47: 2215–2225, 2009 相似文献

The effect of clay dispersion on the crystallization behavior of isotactic polypropylene (iPP)-based nanocomposites is reported.
The T
m0 of the materials was calculated by the method proposed by Marand, the kinetics of crystallization was evaluated by the Avrami
analysis and also the Hoffman-Lauritzen theory of crystallization regimes was applied. Montmorillonite was found to depress
T
m0, to enhance the rate of crystallization and to ease the chain folding of macromolecules. These effects were magnified if
clay was exfoliated, rather than intercalated. 相似文献

In this study, a series of poly(?-caprolactone) (PCL)/clay bionanocomposites were prepared via in situ ring opening polymerization (ROP) of ?-caprolactone catalyzed by titanium butoxide. The natural Moroccan clay beidellite (BDT), used as nanocharge, was organomodified with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTA, to obtain the organically modified 3CTA-BDT (3 = CTA/BDT equivalent feed ratio). Characteristics of the final nanocomposites are investigated by FTIR, SEC, XRD, SEM, TGA, DSC, optical tensiometry, thermal conductivity and water vapor sorption analysis. The intercalated/exfoliated morphologies, revealed by XRD and SEM analyses, confirm uniform dispersion of the nanoclay within the PCL matrix. Thermal stability of all the nanocomposites is improved by the addition of 3CTA-BDT clay compared to pure PCL polymer. The DSC data show that the addition of 3CTA-BDT particles promotes an increase in the disorder of the crystalline phase, which reduces the crystallinity degree. The hydrophobicity of Polymer/clay compatibility was analyzed by studying surface polarity degree of samples by contact angle measurements. Thermal conductivity and water vapor sorption was also discussed. The permeability (P), the sorption coefficient (S) and the diffusion coefficient (D), showed a significant decrease with increasing 3CTA-BDT loading. 相似文献

The poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT)/clay nanocomposite has been successfully prepared via melt intercalation using a co-rotating twin screw extruder. The nanocomposite was characterized by wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized light microscope (PLM) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The nanocomposite forms an exfoliated structure, which can be observed by WAXD and TEM. The effect of clay layers on the crystallization behaviors of PTT was studied through isothermal and non-isothermal crystallization methods. The results suggest that the introduction of nanosize clay layers accelerates the crystallization rate of PTT and the clay layers act as nucleation agents. The morphology of spherulites was investigated with PLM and the result is well in agreement with crystallization kinetics. DMA shows that glass transition temperature (Tg) and storage modulus (E′) of the PTT matrix of the nanocomposite are higher than those of pure PTT. 相似文献

The processing of nanocomposite materials composed of amine‐cured diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) reinforced with organomontmorillonite clay is reported. A novel sample preparation scheme was used to process the modified clay in the glassy epoxy network, resulting in nanocomposites where the clay was both exfoliated and intercalated by the epoxy network. The processing scheme involves sonication of the constituent materials in a solvent, followed by solvent extraction to generate a composite with homogeneous dispersions of the nanoclay. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Fourier transform (FT‐)Raman spectroscopy confirmed that the chemical structure of the epoxy network was not affected by the use of solvents in this processing scheme. The glass‐transition temperature, Tg, linearly increased with an increased weight ratio of the nanoclay. The microstructure of clay nanoplatelets in the composites was observed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), wide‐angle X‐ray scattering (WAXS), and small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS). It was found that the clay nanoplatelets were well‐dispersed, and were intercalated as well as exfoliated. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 42: 4384–4390, 2004 相似文献

This contribution reports the synthesis and characterization of stereochemically controlled, as well as crystalline stereocomplex, P(MMA)‐clay nanocomposites using metallocene complexes and alane‐intercalated clay activators. The ligand elimination and exchange reactions involving Lewis acids E(C6F5)3 (E = Al, B) and an organically modified montmorillonite clay were employed to synthesize the alane‐intercalated clay activators. When combined with dimethyl metallocenes of various symmetries, these clay activators brought about efficient MMA polymerizations leading to in situ polymerized, stereochemically controlled P(MMA)‐intercalated clay nanocomposites. The most noticeable thermal property enhancement observed for the clay nanocomposite P(MMA), when compared with the pristine P(MMA) having similar molecular weight and stereomicrostructure, has a considerable increase in Tg (≥10 °C). Mixing of dilute THF solutions of two diastereomeric nanocomposites in a 1:2 isotactic to syndiotactic ratio, followed by reprecipitation or crystallization procedures, yielded unique double‐stranded helical stereocomplex P(MMA)‐clay nanocomposites with a predominantly exfoliated clay morphology. Remarkably, the resulting crystalline stereocomplex P(MMA) matrix is resistant to the boiling‐THF extraction and its clay nanocomposites exhibit high Tm of 201 to 210 °C. Furthermore, the stereocomplex P(MMA)‐clay nanocomposite shows a one‐step, narrow decomposition temperature window and a single, high maximum rate decomposition temperature of 377 °C. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Six kinds of organoclays were prepared through three kinds of polyols (PTMG, PEA and PCL) to investigate the effects of molecular weight and the chemical structure of organifiers. PTMG based organoclays showed higher ion-exchanged fraction than other organoclays and long chain organifier showed better efficiency in ion-exchanged fraction in the case of PTMG based organifiers. From WAXD and TEM analysis, it was confirmed that PTMG based organoclays formed partially exfoliated or fully exfoliated silicate layer structures. PDLA/clay nanocomposites were prepared by in-situ ring-opening polymerization of D-lactide with PTMG based organoclays as macro-initiators in the presence of equimolar Sn(Oct)2/PPh3 complex catalysts. The molecular weight of PDLA/clay nanocomposite decreased as increasing the feeding amount of organoclay because organoclay had hydroxyl terminal groups which can initiate the ring-opening polymerization of D-lactide. From TGA analysis, thermal stabilities of PDLA/clay nanocomposites improved with increasing organoclay content. From WAXD and TEM analysis, organoclay which was prepared by high molecular weight of PTMG based organifier was effective on the exfoliation of silicate layers in the in-situ polymerized PDLA/clay nanocomposite. 相似文献

Three polystyrene (PS)/clay hybrid systems have been prepared via in situ polymerization of styrene in the presence of unmodified sodium montmorillonite (Na‐MMT) clay, MMT modified with zwitterionic cationic surfactant octadecyldimethyl betaine (C18DMB) and MMT modified with polymerizable cationic surfactant vinylbenzyldimethyldodecylammonium chloride (VDAC). X‐ray diffraction and TEM were used to probe mineral layer organization and to expose the morphology of these systems. The PS/Na‐MMT composite was found to exhibit a conventional composite structure consisting of unintercalated micro and nanoclay particles homogeneously dispersed in the PS matrix. The PS/C18DMB‐MMT system exhibited an intercalated layered silicate nanocomposite structure consisting of intercalated tactoids dispersed in the PS matrix. Finally, the PS/VDAC‐MMT system exhibited features of both intercalated and exfoliated nanocomposites. Systematic statistical analysis of aggregate orientation, characteristic width, length, aspect ratio, and number of layers using multiple TEM micrographs enabled the development of representative morphological models for each of the nanocomposite structures. Oxygen barrier properties of all three PS/clay hybrid systems were measured as a function of mineral composition and analyzed in terms of traditional Nielsen and Cussler approaches. A modification of the Nielsen model has been proposed, which considers the effect of layer aggregation (layer stacking) on gas barrier. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

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.

The stress-strain behavior of PE-Na+-montmorillonite nanocomposites is studied. The stress-strain characteristics of the composites are shown to be controlled by the structure of their nanofiller, which is formed upon melt mixing of the polymer and layered silicate (intercalated or exfoliated), the profile of the stress-strain curve of PE matrix, and the fracture mechanism (either adhesive or cohesive). In nanocomposites with a strong adhesive bonding between matrix and clay particles (under cohesive fracture), both the modulus and yield point are found to be markedly increased. In the case of adhesive fracture, mechanical characteristics are less improved due to debonding between matrix and filler results. For nanocomposites, experimental stress-strain characteristics are compared with theoretical estimates calculated according to the models proposed for predicting the characteristics of filled thermoplastic polymers. In some cases, experimental values of modulus and elongation at break appear to differ appreciably from theoretical estimates. The applied models should take into account the orientation of anisodiametric inclusions in a polymer matrix and the character of separation in the composite (adhesive or cohesive). 相似文献

Novel nanocomposites based on the biodegradable polymer poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHx) and layered fillers, specifically layered silicate (clay25A) and expanded graphite (EG), were prepared by melt intercalation. The dispersion of the fillers in the PHBHx was characterized by wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The effects of the fillers on the polymer structure, thermal stability and mechanical properties of the nanocomposites were also studied, by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and strain‐stress measurements in elongation, respectively. The WAXD and TEM results showed that the clay25A and EG was exfoliated into well‐dispersed sheets in the polymer matrix, especially when the filler concentration were relatively low. This gave rise to considerable improvements in Young's modulus, and resulted in increases in the thermal degradation. It should be possible to convert the EG dispersions obtained thus far to ones yielding filler‐filler networks that show electrical conductivity. 相似文献

Polyethylene/montmorillonite (PE/MMT) nanocomposites, one intercalated sample with higher MMT content and one exfoliated sample with lower MMT content, were prepared by in situ polymerization using MMT-supported metallocene as catalyst. Non-isothermal crystallization behaviors of these two nanocomposites were investigated and compared. The exfoliated sample exhibits higher crystallization temperature (Tc) than the neat PE, showing nucleation effect of MMT. The intercalated sample has lower Tc than the neat PE due to the confinement of MMT. It is observed that the intercalated sample has longer induction period and faster overall crystallization rate, indicating co-existence of suppression and nucleation effects in this sample. The Avrami plots show that the crystal growth of PE in the intercalated sample is two-dimensional, while it is three-dimensional in the exfoliated sample. The crystallization activation energy of the intercalated sample is slightly smaller than that of the exfoliated sample. 相似文献

The unison of vegetable oil‐based hyperbranched polymers with nanotechnology can unhook myriad of avant‐garde applications of such materials. Thus Mesua ferrea L. seed oil‐based hyperbranched polyurethane (HBPU)/clay nanocomposites and their performance, with special reference to adhesive strength, are reported for the first time. The nanocomposites of the hyperbranched polyurethane with organically modified nanoclay were obtained by ex situ solution technique and cured by bisphenol‐A‐based epoxy with poly(amido amine) hardener system. The partially exfoliated and well‐distributed structure of nanoclay was confirmed by XRD, SEM, and TEM studies. FTIR spectra indicate the presence of H‐bonding between nanoclay and the polymer matrix. Two times improvement in the adhesive strength and scratch hardness, 10 MPa increments in the tensile strength and 112°C more thermo‐stability have been observed without much affecting the impact resistance, bending, and elongation at break of the nanocomposites compared to the pristine epoxy modified HBPU system. Thus, the resulted nanocomposites are promising materials for different advanced applications including adhesive. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

A well‐exfoliated morphology is usually observed for polar polymer/clay nanocomposites via dynamic melt processing techniques, whereas only an intercalated or a partially intercalated/partially exfoliated morphology is often obtained for nonpolar polymer/clay nanocomposites, even though some polar compatibilzer is used. In this study, an accelerated exfoliation effect was observed for the first time in iPP/organoclay nanocomposites prepared through so‐called dynamic packing injection molding, in which the specimen is forced to move repeatedly in a chamber by two pistons that move reversibly with the same frequency as the solidification progressively occurs from the mold wall to the molding core part. The disordered level and exfoliated degree of clay was found to dramatically increase from the skin to the core of the prepared samples and eventually the WAXD reflections of interlayer d‐spacing diminished in the core. The changed degree of exfoliation was also proved directly by TEM observation. The prolongation of processing time, the gradual growth of solidification front, the increased melts viscosity, and the shear amplification effect were considered to explain the higher degree of exfoliation in the center zone of mold chamber. Our result suggests that a critical shear force may be needed to break down clay into exfoliated structure. This can be also well used to explain at least partially the intercalated morphology, which is commonly observed for nonpolar polymer/clay nanocomposites via conventional processing. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Superior property enhancements in polymer–clay nanocomposites can be achieved if one can significantly enhance the nanoclay dispersion and polymer–clay interactions. Recent studies have shown that nanoclays can be dispersed in polymers using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2). However, there is need for a better understanding of how changing the clay modifier affects the clay dispersability by scCO2 and the resultant nanocomposite rheology. To address this, the polystyrene (PS)/clay nanocomposites with “weak” interaction (Cloisite 93A clay) and “strong” interaction (Cloisite 15A clay) have been prepared using the supercritical CO2 method in the presence of a co‐solvent. Transmission electron microscopy images and small‐angle X‐ray diffraction illustrate that composites using 15A and 93A clays show similar magnitude of reduction in the average tactoid size, and dispersion upon processing with scCO2. When PS and the clays are coprocessed in scCO2, the “dispersion” of clays appears to be independent of modifier or polymer–clay interaction. However, the low‐frequency storage modulus in the scCO2‐processed 15A nanocomposites is two orders of magnitude higher than that of 93A nanocomposites. It is postulated that below percolation (solution blended composites), the strength of polymer–clay interaction is not a significant contributor to rheological enhancement. In the scCO2‐processed nanocomposites the enhanced dispersion passes the percolation threshold and the interactions dictate the reinforcement potential of the clay–polymer–clay network. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

To have a better insight into the effect of interaction between polymer matrix and clay on the properties of nanocomposite, poly(methyl methacrylate)/clay nanocomposites were prepared by a heterocoagulation method. Using a reactive cationic emulsifier, methacryloyloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (METAC), a strong polymer–clay interaction was obtained with the advantage of keeping a consistent polymer matrix property. X‐ray diffraction and transmission electronic microscopy indicated an exfoliated structure in nanocomposites. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the nanocomposites was measured by DSC and DMA. The DMA results showed that with a strong interaction, PMMA–METAC nanocomposite showed a 20 °C enhancement in glass transition temperature (Tg), whereas a slight increase in Tg was observed for PMMA–cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)/clay nanocomposite with a weak interaction. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
