Nanocomposites based on layered silicate organically modified montmorillonite (Cloisite 20A) and acrylic comonomers (butyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate) were prepared by simple “in situ” batch emulsion polymerization method. The particle size and zeta potential of the emulsions were analyzed. The structural characterizations of the nanocomposites were performed by FTIR, thermal behaviors of the films were investigated by DSC, mechanical properties of the films were tested by DMA and intercalation success was viewed by XRD. The mechanical properties of the nanocomposites were improved significantly especially at the temperatures above Tg. The ultrasonication process was found to be useful for increasing the homogeneity of the emulsions and intercalation success. The obtained nanocomposite emulsions were applied on garment leathers in a finishing formulation as aqueous binders sharing good film forming ability and elasticity.

A series of polyimide (PI)-organically modified clay nanocomposites were made to enhance tensile modulus, thermal stability of PI. PI was made from 3, 3', 4, 4'-biphenyl tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA), p-phenylediamine (PDA).  Montmorillonite (MMT), one type of layered clay, was treated by dodecylamine salt.  XRD indicated that organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) layers were exfoliated and dispersed into PI-film.  Tensile measurements indicated that small amount of OMMT (up to 3%) increased tensile modulus nicely.  The glass transition temperatures (Tg) of the nano-composites are higher than those of pristine PI.  Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that nanocomposites have higher decomposition temperatures in comparison with the original PI.  Keywords: Polyimide; Organically modified clay; Nanocomposites; Dodecylamine. © 2009 JSR Publications.

Polystyrene/clay nanocomposite with organically modified montmorillonite was synthesized via emulsion polymerization. Organic styrene monomer was first intercalated into intergalley of the clay hosts, followed by a typical emulsion polymerization with surfactant and initiator. To investigate the effect of clay loading, we also prepared PS/clay nanocomposites with different clay contents. Wide angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that the emulsion polymerization of PS in the presence of clay produces partially exfoliated and intercalated nanocomposites. In order to study their rheological properties, the melt pallets of composite materials were prepared and measured via a rotational rheometer with a parallel plate geometry.
