原位插层聚合法制备聚丙烯酰胺/α-磷酸锆纳米复合材料及其结构表征

聚合物／层状无机物纳米复合材料因具有常规复合材料所没有的结构、形态及较常规聚合物基复合材料更优异的性能而引起人们的广泛关注．α-磷酸锆（α-ZrP）作为一种合成的结构规整的层状无机物，其离子交换容量（600mmol／100g）是粘土的6倍，并具有长径比可控和粒子尺寸分布较窄等特点，是制备聚合物／层状无机物纳米复合材料的优良基体．以往的研究工作主要集中于金属氧化物／α-ZrP层柱材料和聚电解质膜两类复合材料，有关聚合物／α-ZrP插层复合材料的研究报道较少．聚丙烯酰胺（PAM）是一种具有广泛用途的水溶性高分子，作为聚电解质，

Synthesis of Polyacrylamide/α-Zirconium Phosphate Nanocomposite by in-situ Intercalative Polymerization and the Characterization of Its Structure

The polyacrylamide(PAM)/α-zirconium phosphate(α-ZrP) nanocomposite was synthesized by in situ intercalative polymerization of acrylamide monomer with α-ZrP exfoliated by methylamine.Its structure and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).The results demonstrated that the interlayer distance of α-ZrP was expanded effectively after the polymerization of acrylamide,even forming exfoliated nanocomposite.Both XRD and TEM image confirmed that the most of the layers of α-ZrP were dispersed well in the polymer matrix,and the PAM/α-ZrP intercalated nanocomposite with the d-spacing of about 1.5 nm can be obtained at a high loading of α-ZrP(mass fraction ≥10%).At the same time,some of the layers of α-ZrP were exfoliated and dispersed disorderly in the PMA matrix.
