Polymer nanocomposites draw great interest due to their unique nanostructures and improved properties [1–2]. Epoxy is a widely-used thermosetting material. The research on the epoxy layered-silicate epoxy nanocomposite has exploded in the last decade [3–9]. The morphology of nanocomposites is the key to making high-performance nanocomposites. In this presentation, the factors influencing the morphology development behavior of epoxy nanocomposites will be discussed. The factors to be investigated include organoclay, epoxide, and curing agent. In this study, the aliphatic diamine (Jeffamines) with different molecular weights and aromatic diamine were selected as the curing agents, S30B (quaternary onium-montmorillonite) and SC18 (primary oniummont-morillonite) as the organoclays, and Epon 862 and Epon 828 as epoxides. In situ small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) was utilized to study the morphology development of the epoxy nanocomposite.

ABSTRACTPolymer/SWN nanocomposites were synthesized in the soap-free emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) using 2-hydroxylethyl methacrylate (HEMA). The SWN in the polymer/SWN nanocomposites was individually dispersed in water, and these are adsorbed on the surface of monomer droplets. Polymer/SWN nanocomposites were obtained by adding an aqueous dispersion of layered silicate to the polymer emulsion. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and FT-IR spectra were utilized to characterize the structures of the nanocomposites. The degree of dispersion of these nanocomposites was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Furthermore, the thermal and mechanical properties of polymer/SWN nanocomposites were determined using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The increased tanδ of the obtained nanocomposites is caused by the fine dispersion of SWN particles into the polymer matri
