“…Addition of impermeable fillers of varying surface chemistry and aggregate size/aspect ratio has been presented as an interesting alternative to polymer blending, due to the possibility to tune the shape and size of the dispersed phase before its introduction within the polymer matrix [14][15][16]. A lot of attention has been particularly paid these last years on nanofillers such as clays to reinforce PA or PE properties [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36].…”

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.

“…Figure 7 shows the time dependence of the steady-state permeability of neat nylon and nanocomposite films to methanol vapor at 40 • C, indicating a significantly enhanced barrier property in the nanocomposites. The nanocomposites were characterized by a larger decrease in permeability with increasing silicate content, which suggests that the path must follow a more convoluted path during its movement through the polymer [67,69]. The permeability decreased with both the level of exfoliation and the amount of silicate layer loading, i.e.…”

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.

“…Ele é denominado um material híbrido, composto por uma matriz polimérica na qual se encontra dispersa uma fase inorgânica constituída de partículas com elevada razão de aspecto e dimensões tipicamente nanométricas [7,8] . A vantagem da utilização de nanocarga em relação à carga tradicional é a melhoria gerada nas propriedades mecânica, térmica e de barreira do nanocompósito com a adição de uma pequena quantidade de carga e, também, por não ser necessário nenhum ajuste nos equipamentos utilizados para o processamento do mesmo [9][10][11] . Os argilo-minerais, assim como os sólidos inorgânicos lamelares apresentam estrutura formada pela sobreposição organizada de camadas bidimensionais chamadas de lamelas.…”

Resumo: Nanocompósitos de LLDPE/argila montmorilonita e LLDPE/niobato organofilizado foram obtidos através da diluição de um concentrado da respectiva carga em uma extrusora dupla rosca obtendo-se concentrações finais de 1,5 a 10,0% em carga. No presente estudo utilizou-se o ensaio mecânico de tração e o de permeação ao vapor de água e ao oxigênio para caracterizar estes nanocompósitos. No ensaio mecânico de tração observou-se aumento no valor do módulo elástico e diminuição no valor da tenacidade com o aumento da concentração da argila montmorilonita, o que era esperado devido à rigidez da carga. Comportamento semelhante também foi observado no caso dos nanocompósitos de niobato organofilizado, porém de maneira menos acentuada devido à estrutura química do niobato de potássio. Com auxílio do MEV/FEG observou-se que a distribuição da argila é superior a do niobato organofilizado para concentrações inferiores a 10,0% de carga. No ensaio de permeação ocorre diminuição no valor de permeabilidade com o aumento da concentração da argila montmorilonita para ambos os gases utilizados. Na presença do niobato organofilizado observa-se diminuição, seguido de aumento no valor da permeação com o aumento da concentração da carga para ambos os gases utilizados. Além disso, observou-se que a polaridade do gás utilizado é um fator importante no processo de difusão através do nanocompósito.

Comparative Evaluation between Montmorillonite Clay/LLDPE and Potassium Hexaniobate/LLDPE Nanocomposites: Characterization of Mechanical and Transport PropertiesAbstract: Linear low density polyethylene-montmorillonite clay and linear low density polyethylene-organophilic niobate nanocomposites were obtained from dilution of masterbatch with 20% w/w of fillers in the LLDPE matrix by melt intercalation using a twin-screw extruder, obtaining nanocomposites with 1.5% up to 10.0% w/w of filler. In this study mechanical and water vapor and oxygen permeation tests were used to characterize the nanocomposites. In mechanical tests an increase of modulus values and decrease of toughness value by increasing concentration of montmorillonite clay were observed. The behavior of LLDPE-organophilic niobate nanocomposites was similar to LLDPE-montmorillonite clay nanocomposites but softer due to hexaniobate structure. The distribution of the organoclay is more homogeneous than organophilic niobate to concentrations below 10.0% filler using the SEM/ FEG. It is possible to see a decrease in the permeability value with increasing concentration of montmorillonite clay for both gases used. In the LLDPE-organophilic niobate nanocomposites a decrease of permeability value occurs followed by an increase of permeability value for both gases used, with increasing concentration of organophilic niobate. Furthermore, it was observed that the polarity of the gas used is an important factor in the dif...
