O-Muscovite/PP Layered Silicate Nanocomposites were prepared via melt compounding using different filler content. Muscovite was organomodified with Cetyldimethylethylammonium bromide (CEDAB). The thermal and mechanical properties of nanocomposites, based on polypropylene (PP) filled by organo-clay (O-Muscovite), were studied in order to clarify the effect of O-Muscovite on the O-Muscovite/PP layered silicate nanocomposites by WAXD, TEM and DSC analyses. XRD indicated that O-Mica layers were intercalated and dispersed into polypropylene. Analysis of test data shows that, addition of organo-clay improved mechanical properties of O-Mica/PP nanocomposites. With the incorporation of 5 wt% O-Mica (optimal filler loading) into polypropylene Izod impact increased to 23%. The DSC analyses have shown that the influence of organo-clay on the thermal properties of material was significant in composites with O-Mica as fillers, compared to virgin PP. The enhancements of properties can be caused by the formation of intercalated and exfoliation nanocomposite structure at this clay content and stronger interaction of O-Mica with polymer matrix. At a higher filler loading, degradation in mechanical properties maybe attributes to the formation of agglomerated clay tactoids. O-Muscovite/PP Layered Silicate Nanocomposites were prepared via melt compounding using different filler content. Muscovite was organomodified with cetyltrimethylammoniumbromide (CTAB). The thermal and mechanical properties of nanocomposites, based on polypropylene (PP) filled by organo-clay (O-Muscovite), were studied in order to clarify the effect of O-Muscovite on the O-Muscovite/PP layered silicate nanocomposites by WAXD, TEM and DSC analyses. XRD indicated that O-Mica layers were intercalated and dispersed into polypropylene. It was found that the mechanical and thermal properties of organo-clay nanocomposite possess better properties as compared to the unmodified clay nanocomposites. The reason was partly due to the formation of intercalated and exfoliation nanocomposite structure at this clay content and stronger interaction of O-Mica with polymer matrix.

AbstractNanocomposites based on biodegradable poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) and layered silicates (montmorillonite) modified by various alkylammonium cations were prepared by melt intercalation. Depending on whether the ammonium cations contain non-functional alkyl chains or chains terminated by carboxylic acid or hydroxyl functions, microcomposites or nanocomposites were recovered as shown by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Mechanical and thermal properties were examined by tensile testing and thermogravimetric analysis. The layered silicate PCL nanocomposites exhibited some improvement of the mechanical properties (higher Young’s modulus) and increased thermal stability as well as enhanced flame retardant characteristics as result of a charring effect. This communication aims at reporting that the formation of PCL-based nanocomposites strictly depends on the nature of the ammonium cation and its functionality, but also on the selected synthetic route, i.e. melt intercalation vs. in situ intercalative polymerization. Typically, protonated w-aminododecanoic acid exchanged montmorillonite allowed to intercalate ε -caprolactone monomer and yielded nanocomposites upon in situ polymerization, whereas they exclusively formed microcomposites when blended with preformed PCL chains. In other words, it is shown that the formation of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites is not straightforward and cannot be predicted since it strongly depends on parameters such as ammonium cation type and functionality together with the production procedure, i.e., melt intercalation, solvent evaporation or in situ polymerization.

An in-situ, catalyst-free method for synthesizing 3C-SiC ceramic nanowires (SiCNWs) inside carbon–carbon (C/C) composites was successfully achieved. Obtained samples in different stages were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Raman scattering spectroscopy. Results demonstrated that the combination of sol-gel impregnation and carbothermal reduction was an efficient method for in-situ SiCNW synthesis, inside C/C composites. Thermal properties and mechanical behaviors—including out-of-plane and in-plane compressive strengths, as well as interlaminar shear strength (ILLS) of SiCNW modified C/C composites—were investigated. By introducing SiCNWs, the initial oxidation temperature of C/C was increased remarkably. Meanwhile, out-of-plane and in-plane compressive strengths, as well as interlaminar shear strength (ILLS) of C/C composites were increased by 249.3%, 109.2%, and 190.0%, respectively. This significant improvement resulted from simultaneous reinforcement between the fiber/matrix (F/M) and matrix/matrix (M/M) interfaces, based on analysis of the fracture mechanism.
