AbstractNanocomposites containing poly(vinyl acetate) and montmorillonite (MMT) were prepared using a one-batch emulsion polymerization recipe, assisted by poly (vinylpyrrolidone). The relative clay concentration with respect to the other reaction partners influences drastically the morphological units in the end-products. For low [MMT], well-defined, spherical PVAc particles are formed. At the other extreme, for high [MMT], production of polymeric, water-swollen aggregates is favored. Depending on the MMT/PVP ratio, the clay will be dispersed in the final polymer matrix in variable forms, from individual platelets to agglomerates of reformed tactoids.

Poly vinyl pyrrolidone (PVP(K30)) / Bisphenol A Dicyanate ester (BADCy) blends were fabricated to increase the toughness of BADCy by blending processing in this paper. Curing parameters were determined by gelation time curves and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of the systems. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) and DSC data were employed to show the curing behavior and kinetics of the systems. Mechanical properties of the cured resin had been improved rapidly with the increasing of PVP(K30) at low mass fraction, but would decrease when mass fractions of PVP(K30) were higher than 15%. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) was applied to show the microstructures of the cured matrixes. Based on the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) curves, water absorption curves, SEM images and dielectric properties of the blends, it can be concluded that the addition of PVP(K30) can improve the toughness of BADCy greatly with little loss of other properties.
