The preparation and characterization of a kaolinite–methacrylamide intercalation compound was achieved by a guest-displacement method, the direct treatment of a dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) pre-intercalate with an aqueous solution of methacrylamide under mild conditions, giving intercalation ratios up to 92% and an expansion of 0.53 nm of the interlayer space. The DMSO molecules were fully displaced from the interlayer space by methacrylamide. Only partial intercalation could be obtained with N-methylformamide (NMF) pre-intercalate. After intercalation, the monomer was thermally polymerized at 100 or 150 °C with various heating times. XRD, FTIR, 13C CP/MAS NMR, and thermogravimetric analysis confirmed that polymerization was partially achieved in the interlayer spaces, while the layered structure of kaolinite was maintained, constraining the polymer in an interlayer space of 0.57 nm in the c-direction. In good agreement with the TG data, elemental analysis gave a stoichiometry of Al2Si2O5(OH)4·(C4H7NO)0.52 for the thermally treated methacrylamide intercalate, corresponding to a ratio of one methacrylamide unit per two kaolinite structural units. The thermal stability of the methacrylamide intercalate was increased after thermal treatment and polymerization.Key words: kaolinite, intercalation, nanocomposites, aluminosilicates, layered materials, interlayer polymerization, poly(methacrylamide).

Montmorillonite Nanocomposites

Polyacrylonitrile-metal-O-montmorillonite nanocomposites were prepared by means of in situ polymerization. The Na-montmorillonite was modified by quaternary ammonium salt after the exchange of its interlayer cations with Ni2+. Infrared spectra and X-ray powder diffraction were employed to characterize the obtained polyacrylonitrile-metal-O-montmorillonite. The results of FTIR show that metal-O-montmorillonite has been concerned with the polymerization of PAN. The result of X-ray powder diffraction shows that the inserting of the acrylonitrile monomer can enlarge the interlayer space of montmorillonite. It is also shown that the polyacrylonitrile-metal-O- montmorillonite nanocomposites have been synthesized. The thermal stability of PAN /MMT is better than that of pure PAN.

In this paper, the diphenyl methane diisocyanate (MDI) was used to modify montmorillonoid (MMT) and got the organic montmorillonite (OMMT), which was used with the monomers of PET by in situ polymerization method to prepare PET/MMT nanocomposition. The OMMT was analyzed by the X ray diffraction (XRD) to test the change of the spacing layer. Dispersion of MMT in the PET/MMT nanocomposites were studied with XRD and SEM and by means of thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) on the thermal stability of PET/MMT nanocomposites. The results showed that, MDI modified MMT successfully, and the compatibility of MMT and PET was increased .

Novel polystyrene (PS)/polyhedral oligomeric silsequioxanes (POSSs) nanocomposites were designed and prepared by in situ polymerization, using, for the first time, three-cage POSS molecules. The synthesized compounds were first characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and 1H NMR spectroscopy to verify the obtaining of the designed products before their thermal performance was evaluated and compared with those of pristine PS and the corresponding single-cage POSSs nanocomposites. The thermal behaviour was checked by the means of the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was also used to confirm the hypothesis about the dispersion/aggregation of the POSS molecules into the polymer matrix. The parameters chosen to evaluate the thermal stability of the investigated compounds, namely temperature at 5% of mass loss (T5%) and solid residue at 700 °C, showed a significant increase in the stability of the polymers reinforced with the three-cages POSS, in comparison to both PS and single-cage POSS reinforced PSs, which therefore turn out to be promising molecular fillers for nanocomposite production.

The PANI/ITO conducting nanocomposites have been synthesized by in-situ polymerization. The obtained nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared. Electrical conductivity measurements on the samples pressed into pellets showed that the maximum conductivity attained 2.0 ± 0.05 S/cm for PANI/ITO nanocomposites, at ITO doping concentration of 10 wt%. The results of the present work may provide a simple, rapid and efficient approach for preparing PANI/ITO nanocomposites.

The reaction of the bulk glass forming alloy Zr41Ti14Cu12Ni10Be23 (Vit 1) with W, Ta, Mo, AlN, Al2O3, Si, graphite, and amorphous carbon was investigated. Vit 1 samples were melted and subsequently solidified after different processing times on discs of the different materials. Sessile drop examinations of the macroscopic wetting of Vit 1 on the discs as a function of temperature were carried out in situ with a digital optical camera. The reactions at the interfaces between the Vit 1 sample and the different disc materials were investigated with an electron microprobe. The structure and thermal stability of the processed Vit 1 samples were examined by x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. The results are discussed in terms of possible applications for composite materials.

This study describes the preparation of polypyrrole multiwall carbon nanotube (PPy/MWNT) composites by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization. Various ratios of functionalized MWNTs are dispersed in the water, and PPy are then synthesized via in-situ chemical oxidative polymerization on the surface of the carbon nanotubes. The morphology of the resulting complex nanotubes (MWNT-PPY) was characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The conductivity of each composite showed a maximum in the temperature scale of 120 – 160 °C and then decreased dramatically with the increase of temperature. The resultant PPy/MWNT nanotubes enhanced electrical conductivity and thermal stability of nanocomposite compared to PPy which was strongly influenced by the feed ratio of pyrrole to MWNTs.
