“…Indeed due to their high aspect ratio and their impermeable character, the clay platelets are expected to induce significant tortuosity effects when they are dispersed within a polymer matrix. Different models [21,[37][38][39][40][41][42] have been proposed in the literature to express the tortuosity factor as a function of the shape, orientation, dispersion state and volume fraction of the dispersed impermeable particles.…”

Re´sume´-Renforcement des proprie´te´s barrie`re aux gaz de matrices polye´thyle`ne et polyamide par l'approche nanocomposite : facteurs cle´s et limitations -Dans cette e´tude, des nanocomposites sont pre´pare´s par voie fondue pour deux matrices, une matrice polyamide 6 (PA6) et une matrice polye´thyle`ne (PE), leur morphologie ainsi que leurs proprie´te´s barrie`res sont e´tudie´es. Les argiles organophiles sont choisies en fonction de la nature chimique de chacune des matrices polyme`res. Les nanocomposites pre´pare´s a`partir de polyamide 6 pre´sentent une structure exfolie´e et des proprie´te´s barrie`res ame´liore´es alors qu'une morphologie de type microcomposite ne conduisant aà ucune ame´lioration des proprie´te´s barrie`res est obtenue pour le syste`me PE/montmorillonite. Diffe´rents polye´thyle`nes modifie´s sont alors e´value´s en tant qu'agents compatibilisants pour les syste`mes PE. Les effets de la masse molaire, de la polarite´et de la fraction massique d'agent compatibilisant sur la dispersion des charges et sur les proprie´te´s barrie`res sont e´tudie´s. Un taux massique d'agent compatibilisant e´gal a`4 fois celui des charges s'ave`re eˆtre optimal pour l'ensemble des agents compatibilisants. Par ailleurs, la masse molaire des agents compatibilisants joue un roˆle primordial sur l'e´tat de dispersion des charges. Contrairement aux syste`mes PA, les proprie´te´s barrie`res des syste`mes PE ne sont pas directement relie´es a`l'e´tat de dispersion des charges mais de´pendent e´galement des interfaces charges/matrice. Les PE oxyde´s de faible masse molaire sont identifie´s comme des agents compatibilisants particulie`rement inte´ressants pour les proprie´te´s barrie`res et une optimisation pas a`pas des syste`mes est entreprise. Une combinaison de PE oxyde´de faible masse molaire et de PE greffe´anhydride male´ique de haute masse molaire conduisant a`diviser la perme´abilite´aux gaz du nanocomposite d'un facteur 2 par rapport a`la matrice PE s'ave`re particulie`rement inte´ressante.Abstract -Reinforcement of the Gas Barrier Properties of Polyethylene and Polyamide Through the Nanocomposite Approach: Key Factors and Limitations -In this study, polyamide 6 (PA6) and polyethylene (PE) nanocomposites were prepared from melt blending and a detailed characterization of the nanocomposite morphology and gas barrier properties was performed.

“…The high aspect ratio of the aluminosilicate layers is expected to improve the oxygen-barrier properties by hindering the penetration of the gas molecules and increasing their average path length. [6][7][8] PP-nanocomposites incorporating organically modified montmorillonite have been mostly prepared by melt compounding. [9] To achieve better compatibility between the organo-montmorillonite (OM) and the strongly hydrophobic PP matrix, and hence better clay exfoliation, maleic-anhydride-grafted PP (PP-g-MA) has been used instead or added to PP in large quantities as ''compatibilizer''.…”

To monitor the mineral surface coverage and energy, the inorganic cations of two clays (montmorillonite) with different surface area/cation have been exchanged by alkylammonium ions, carrying alkyl chains of different number and length. The prepared OMs were free of unreacted organic ions. With increasing length and number of the alkyl chains, an increase in the basal‐plane spacing (d‐spacing) of the OM was observed. The d‐spacing also increased with increasing CEC of the clay (decreasing available area/cation). The OMs were compounded with PP and their effect on the crystallinity and gas‐barrier properties of the polymer was investigated. The OM had no influence on the degree of crystallinity of PP under the processing conditions used. Oxygen permeation through the composites decreased, depending on the cross‐sectional area of the exchanged organic cation and the CEC of the clay. These parameters control the mineral surface coverage (consequently the surface energy) as well as the tilt angle of the alkyl chains to the mineral surface, and hence the d‐spacing. Increasing the length of the alkyl chains and their number per cation enhanced the d‐spacing, clay exfoliation, and the gas‐barrier properties of the composites. A mixed morphology, consisting of delaminated aluminosilicate layers and OM tactoids of varying thickness was observed but no intercalation took place. The oxygen permeation coefficient of the nanocomposites was found to be a non‐linear function of the volume fraction of the inorganic part of the OM.magnified image

“…Various barrier models have been proposed to predict the permeability of composites containing dispersed platelets [64][65][66][67][68]. These models usually assume a random spatial arrangement of platelets oriented perpendicular to the permeation direction.…”

“…These results can be attributed to the improved dispersion of the silicate nanolayers inside the nylon 6 matrix, which obstruct the path of methanol molecules. Some previous barrier models [64][65][66][67][68] were based on longer diffusive paths along which a gas must travel due to the presence of a filler. According to these models, the reduction of permeability should depend on the quantity of filler, its aspect ratio, and the orientation of the platelets.…”

Geomaterials are materials inspired by geological systems originating from the billion years long history of the Earth. This article reviews three important classes of geomaterials. The first one is smectites-layered silicates with a cation-exchange capacity. Smectites are useful for removing pollutants and as intercalation compounds, catalysts and polymer nanocomposites. The second class is layered double hydroxides (LDHs). They have an anion-exchange capacity and are used as catalysts, catalyst precursors, sorbents and scavengers for halogens. The third class of geomaterials is zeolites-microporous materials with a cation-exchange capacity which are used for removing harmful cations. Zeolite composites with LDHs can absorb ammonium and phosphate ions in rivers and lakes, whereas zeolite/apatite composites can immobilize the radioactive iodine. These geomaterials are essential for environmental remediation.
