ABSTRACTThe activation energies for poly(ethylene oxide) motion in a polymer clay composite are reported for the polymer intercalated and external to the clay. PEO intercalated into the clay is found to have a lower activation energy for motion but also a larger Arrhenius prefactor, by almost two orders of magnitude, than for PEO found external to the clay. Neutron scattering measurements confirm the presence of two environments and the effects of confinement on the mean square displacement of the PEO.

Organically modified layered silicate was introduced into miscible poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) / poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blends for the synthesis and characterization of polymer/clay nanocomposite through solvent casting method. As a part of our continuous efforts on the study of nanoscopic internal structures and changes of material properties caused by the presence of organically modified layered silicate, we systematically investigated the characteristic morphological changes and internal structures with scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Various factors such as clay concentration, thermal history, and shear history were employed to give rise to the changes of morphological and internal structures.

In this study, we investigated a poly(ether-block-amide)-5513 (PEBAX-5513)/AgBF4/1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIMBF4) composite membrane, which is expected to have a high stabilizing effect on the Ag+ ions functioning as olefin carriers in the amide group. Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) only consists of ether regions, whereas the PEBAX-5513 copolymer contains both ether and amide regions. However, given the brittle nature of the amide, the penetration of BMIMBF4 remains challenging. The nanoparticles did not stabilize after their formation in the long-term test, thereby resulting in a poor performance compared to previous experiments using PEO as the polymer (selectivity 3; permeance 12.3 GPU). The properties of the functional groups in the polymers were assessed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis, which confirmed that the properties endowed during the production of the film using the ionic liquid can impact the performance.
