Morphology and Melt Rheology of Nylon 11/Clay Nanocomposites
Nylon 11 (PA11)/clay nanocomposites have been prepared by melt-blending, followed by melt-extrusion through a capillary. Transmission electron microscopy shows that the exfoliated clay morphology is dominant for low nanofiller content, while the intercalated one is prevailing for high filler loading. Melt rheological properties of PA11 nanocomposites have been studied in both linear and nonline...
متن کاملStructure and rheology of organoclay suspensions.
We have characterized a montmorillonite-based organoclay dispersed in three different nonaqueous solvents using a combination of x-ray scattering, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), and ultrasmall angle neutron scattering (USANS), together with rheological measurements. Consistent with these measurements, we present a structural model for the incompletely dispersed clay as consisting of ran...
متن کاملComposite polymer electrolytes using surface-modified fumed silica: Conductivity and rheology
We report results from our studies on composite polymer electrolytes based on novel surface-modified fumed silicas. The electrolytes were prepared by dispersing fumed silica in a matrix formed by methyl-capped polyethylene glycol and lithium salt. Silicas with widely different surface chemistries were synthesized in order to study the effects of surface modification, with the attached surface g...
متن کاملStructure of polymer solutions containing fumed silica.
Small angle neutron scattering is employed to estimate the interactions in complex multicomponent systems. The method is applied to describe a ternary system, poly(dimethyl siloxane) toluene with silica filler particles. Contrast variation by solvent deuteration is used to distinguish the three different partial structure factors of filled polymer samples, S(pp)(q), S(pf)(q), and S(ff)(q), wher...
متن کاملEffect of Supercritical Co2 on Morphology and Rheology of Polymer Nanocomposites Prepared by Melt Compounding
Well dispersion or intercalation/exfoliation of nanoscale fillers (such as nano-CaCO3 and nano-clay) in polymer matrix is currently not easy to be achieved. Supercritical carbon dioxide (ScCO2) has been reported to have great potential for facilitating the dispersion or intercalation/exfoliation of the nanoscale fillers in polymer matrix. So, in this paper, the effects of dissolved ScCO2 on the...
