Polymer-clay nanocomposites (PCNC) offer better properties at very low volume fraction of the nanofiller compared to conventional polymer composites, thus minimizing the effect on other favored properties of the polymer. The mechanism by which clay platelets, which have thicknesses of a few nanometers in size compared with several hundred nanometers in the other two dimensions, introduce mechanical and other properties improvement can be attributed to their high efficiency in introducing a discontinuity to flows through the bulk matrix polymer material. The extent of this improvement depends on the success of intercalation or separation of the clay platelets through the bulk matrix. This paper contains a general overview of polymer-clay nanocomposites in terms of properties and processing. The improvements in gas barrier properties are discussed in detail; and a model to represent the effect of introduction of nanofillers on the permeability is proposed. The model builds on previous models to explain the improvements in the gas barrier properties due to the presence of clay nanoparticles and by assuming a proper distribution of these particles.

This study designed and synthesised a meta-amide-substituted dianiline monomer (m-DABA) as a stereoisomer of DABA, a previously investigated para-amide-substituted dianiline monomer. This new monomer was polymerised with pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) to prepare a polyimide film (m-DABPI) in a process similar to that employed in a previous study. The relationship between the substitution positions on the monomer and the gas barrier properties of the polyimide film was investigated via molecular simulation, wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WXRD), and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) to gain deeper insights into the gas barrier mechanism. The results showed that compared with the para-substituted DABPI, the m-DABPI exhibited better gas barrier properties, with a water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) and an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) as low as 2.8 g·m−2·d−1 and 3.3 cm3·m−2·d−1, respectively. This was because the meta-linked polyimide molecular chains were more tightly packed, leading to a smaller free volume and lower molecular chain mobility. These properties are not conducive to the permeation of small molecules into the film; thus, the gas barrier properties were improved. The findings have significant implications for the structural design of high-barrier materials and could promote the development of flexible display technology.
