Mechanical properties of clay–polyimide (BTDA–ODA) nanocomposites via ODA‐modified organoclay

Preparation and properties of (BATB–ODPA) polyimide–clay nanocomposite materials

“…However, a further increase of clay loading (e.g. 5 wt %, 10 wt %) was found to decrease the T g , which is consistent with results reported by other groups 15…”

Preparation of Highly Exfoliated Polyester–Clay Nanocomposites: Process–Property Correlations

“…This is most likely due to agglomeration of the particles, and, as a consequence, the stiffness of the particles is not exploited to their full potential, thus not significantly increasing the effective stiffness of the composite. This has also been observed in refs − where the Young’s modulus decreased for volume fractions above 2–3%.…”

Evaluation of Methods for Stiffness Predictions of Polymer/Clay Nanocomposites

“…This value agrees well with TEM observation of Ref. [50], claiming that interlayer spacing of silicate particles is 4-10 nm in the case of 3 wt% clay and 4-8 nm for 5 wt% clay, respectively. The high value of j implies strong interaction between clay and polymer, which may result from the swelling agent that reacts separately with clay and matrix through its two end groups.…”
