Crystal Structure of Nylon 6/Inorganic Layered Silicate Nanocomposite Film.

Preparation and Characterization of Layered Silicate Polyethylene Terephthalate Nanocomposite by in Situ Polymerization

A series of experiments on the synthesis of poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/organo-montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were carried out in a pressurized reactor using alkyl ammonium exchanged smectite clays, (Closite 30B).Given the degradation of organoclay at high temperatures, the in situ polymerization process was carried out at mild temperatures ranging from 210 to 230°C for 40 minutes...

Nanoporous layered silicate AMH-3/cellulose acetate nanocomposite membranes for gas separations

Nanoporous layered silicate/polymer composite membranes are of interest because they can exploit the high aspect ratio of exfoliated selective flakes/layers to enhance molecular sieving and create a highly tortuous transport path for the slower molecules. In this work, we combine membrane synthesis, detailed microstructural characterization, and mixed gas permeation measurements to demonstrate ...

Organic-Inorganic Hydrophobic Nanocomposite Film with a Core-Shell Structure

A method to prepare novel organic-inorganic hydrophobic nanocomposite films was proposed by a site-specific polymerization process. The inorganic part, the core of the nanocomposite, is a ternary SiO₂-Al₂O₃-TiO₂ nanoparticles, which is grafted with methacryloxy propyl trimethoxyl silane (KH570), and wrapped by fluoride and siloxane polymers. The synthesized samples are characterized by transmis...

Polymer Layered Silicate Nanocomposites: A Review

This review aims to present recent advances in the synthesis and structure characterization as well as the properties of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites. The advent of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites has revolutionized research into polymer composite materials. Nanocomposites are organic-inorganic hybrid materials in which at least one dimension of the filler is less than 100 nm...
