摘要
Completely exfoliated epoxy/organo-montmorillonite nanocomposites with high-performance were successfully prepared using Nano-disassembling method. Nano-SiO2 particles were added into the organomontmorillonite and epoxy mixture system as a disassembler to interact with organo-montmorillonite (o-MMT). By means of the strong interaction between nanoscale particles, the MMT layers were completely disassembled into elemental nanoscale mono-platelets. These mono-platelets and the disassembler particles dispersed in the resultant nanocomposites taking an interlacing arrangement. Mechanical testing and thermal analysis results indicated that the nanocomposites prepared by Nano-disassembling method displayed dramatic improvements in mechanical and thermal properties compared with traditional epoxy/o-MMT nanocomposites. Tensile modulus and tensile strength increased by 63.0% and 53.0%, respectively. Flexural modulus enhanced by 6.0%, flexural strength by 13.2% and notch impact strength by 36.1%. Glass transition temperature and thermal decomposition temperature moved to high temperatures by 9.0 degrees C and 5.0 degrees C. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
