AbstractIonic liquid [bmim]PF6 (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluoro phosphate) was synthesized and characterized. It was used as the plasticizer for poly(L-lactide) (PLLA). The glass transition temperature (Tg) and the thermal stability of the plasticized PLLA samples were measured by thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Compared with poly(ethylene glycol) having Mw of 300 g/mol (PEG300), TG results showed that the thermal stability of PLLA plasticized with ionic liquid was better than that of PLLA plasticized with PEG300. The Tg of plasticized PLLA decrease with increasing the content of ionic liquid [bmim]PF6 from 2 wt.% to 10 wt.%. The Tg of PLLA can be reduced to 40°C when the content of ionic liquid [bmim]PF6 was 10 wt.%. The materials of PLLA with plasticizer were also investigated using polarizing microscope (POM), the results of which indicate that the movements of PLLA chains were improved when ionic liquid plasticizer was used.

In this study, an ionic liquid (IL), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate, was used to prepare ionogels with microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and halloysite (Hal). SEM, XRD, TG, DSC, FTIR spectroscopy, conductometry and mechanical tests were used to study the morphology, structure, thermal behaviour and electrophysical and mechanical characteristics of synthesised ionogels. XRD analysis showed a slight decrease in the interlayer space of halloysite in ionogels containing MCC, which may have been associated with the removal of residual water molecules resulting from hydrophilic IL anions and polymer macromolecules. A change in conductivity and glass-transition temperature of the ionic liquid was revealed due to intercalation into halloysite (a confinement effect) and modification with cellulose. For triple IL/Hal/MCC ionogels, the characteristic thermal degradation temperatures were higher than the corresponding values for IL/Hal composites. This indicates that the synthesised IL/Hal/MCC ionogels are characterised by a greater thermal stability than those of IL/Hal systems.

The PMMA (poly methyl methacrylate)/clay nanocomposite powders were synthesized by In-Situ suspension polymerizations using microwave heating. The PMMA/clay nanocomposites were also sampled using injection moulding to make specimens for material characterization. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated the formation of a highly intercalated clay layer in the nanocomposites. It was found that the microstructure of PMMA/clay nanocomposites was strongly dependent of content of clay. Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) indicated an improvement in the thermal stability of nanocomposites compared to that of the pure PMMA. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed that the nanocomposites had a higher glass transition (Tg) temperature than the PMMA. Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy indicated an interaction between the carbonyl group of PMMA and hydroxyl group of the clay. Therefore, a possible reason in enhanced material properties of nanocomposites is that the chemical interaction and nanostructure of PMMA polymer and intercalated inorganic silicate layer has increased the thermal stability of the PMMA/clay nanocomposites.
