Abstract: | Thermally stable modifier were used to modify clay or lithium aluminum layered double hydroxides (LiAl LDH) nanoparticles for preparation of poly (ethylene terephthalate)/clay or LiAl LDH nanocomposites. The effect of modify agent, studied by microcompouding process. The PET nanocomposites which were made by twin‐screw microcompounder dispersion morphology of inorganic layered materials in nanocomposites could be explained by wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WXRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Nanocomposite also formed the better mechanical, UV resistance, and gas barrier properties. Optical properties and crystallization behaviour of these new types of nanocomposites are investigated in this paper. |
