Mechanical properties of functionalized SEBS based inorganic hybrid materials

Probing the role of surface treated montmorillonite on the properties of semi-aromatic polyamide/clay nanocomposites

“…The surface properties of organoclays are mainly determined by the surfactant used for cation exchange to modify originally hydrophilic clay. Consequently, polymer/clay nanocomposites exhibit superior properties including barrier, fire and mechanical at very low clay loading (<10 wt.%) dispersed at nanometer scale in the polymer matrix [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28].…”

Optical and Thermal Behaviors of Polyamide-Layered Silicate Nanocomposites Based on 4,4′-Azodibenzoic Acid by Solution Intercalation Technique

“…Polymer-clay nanocomposites typically exhibited mechanical, thermal and gas barrier properties, which are superior to those of the corresponding pure polymers [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Unique properties of the nanocomposites are usually observed when the ultra fine silicate layers are homogenously dispersed throughout the polymer matrix at nanoscale.…”

Synthesis and Characterization of New Polyimide/Organoclay Nanocomposites Derived From 3,3′,4,4′-Biphenyltetracarboxylic Dianhydride and 1,2-Bis(4-Aminophenoxy)Ethane

“…Last researches are devoted to further improving the performance of PIs in some specific applications [3][4][5]. In last decades, it was found that the introduction of well dispersed clay layers such as montmorillonite (MMT) into a polymer matrix has been proved to be completely effective in the improvement of mechanical, thermal and barrier properties of the polymers [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. The chemical structure of MMT consist of two fused silica tetrahedral sheets sandwiching an edge-shared octahedral sheet of either magnesium or aluminum hydroxide.…”
