Proper dispersion of nano thin layered structure of nanoclay in polymer matrix offers new and greatly improved properties over pristine polymers. The degree of nanoclay dispersion and hence the improvements in the physical and mechanical properties depend greatly on the technique used and processing parameters. In this work, 2 wt.% epoxy-clay nanocomposites were fabricated using different mixing techniques to study the effect of mixing methods on the nanoclay dispersion and thus on the enhancement of the properties of the resultant nanocomposites. Three mixing techniques were explored: high shear mixing (HSM), ultrasonication and their combination as well as hand mixing. The effect of mixing techniques on morphology and mechanical properties of the resultant nanocomposites was investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and tensile testing. The results of XRD and TEM showed that both exfoliated and disordered intercalated morphology were developed for the nanocomposites synthesized by HSM, while ordered intercalated morphology was observed for samples prepared by sonication. The tensile test results show that among the mixing techniques considered in this study HSM results in the optimum mechanical properties as a whole while hand mixing resulted in the worst physical and mechanical properties.
