Photodegradation of poly(ethyleneoxide)/montmorillonite composite films

Abstract: Poly(ethyleneoxide) (PEO) composites with SWy‐1 montmorillonite were prepared by mixing the polymer and the clay in aqueous colloidal solutions. Thin films of the composites were obtained by solvent evaporation and exposed to 254‐nm UV‐irradiation. The photodegradation was monitored by FTIR and the chain scission reaction was confirmed by measurement of average molecular weights using size exclusion chromatography. The rate of oxidation of pure PEO was much faster than that of the composites (SWy‐1/PEO). The S… Show more

“…In the last two decades, polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) have emerged a new class of materials due to not only scientific interest but also the remarkable improvement in the performance properties of host polymer matrix dispersed with extremely small amount of clay as inorganic nanofiller . Among the polymer nanocomposites, the poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) dispersed with Na + –montmorillonite (abbreviated as MMT or Na + –MMT clay) layered has attracted special interest due to its many technical applications in the area of solid polymer electrolytes, pharmaceutical drugs, purification of biological materials, adhesives, packaging and surface coating films, friction reduction, thickening of water‐based paints, etc . The MMT has 2:1 charged phyllosilicate platelets of 1 nm thickness and these are stacked by weak dipolar or van der Waals forces which lead to the intercalation of polar molecules causing the crystal lattice to expand in the c ‐direction.…”
