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.

AbstractHydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR)/clay nanocomposites are prepared using conventional two-roll mill mixing technique. The structure and morphology of nanocomposites are characterized using wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Both intercalated and exfoliated clay structures are observed in HNBR/clay nanocomposites. The thermal stability of the nanocomposites is studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and TGA-Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The effect of organoclay on physical and mechanical properties of HNBR vulcanizates before and after aging in air, water and oil at 178 °C is also investigated. It is found that adding organoclay in HNBR elastomer greatly improves material thermal stability and aging performance in different medium at elevated temperature.

Sodium-montmorillonite (Na-MMT) nanoclay was modified with different types of alkylamine organic modifier including primary and quaternary alkylamines. Influence types of alkylamine on properties of natural rubber/clay nanocomposites was investigated. It was found that organoclays caused improvement of mechanical properties of natural rubber, and accelerated vulcanization reaction with higher degree of crosslinking. In addition, organoclay modified with quaternary alkylamine showed significance cure reversion phenomenon which caused reduction of thermal stability. On the other hand, primary alkylamine modified nanoclay caused improvement of thermal stability of natural rubber. Moreover, stress relaxation was observed at the melting temperature of the modifying agent.
