摘要
Vermiculite clay (VMT) was organically modified with a quaternary organic salt and added to polypropylene (PP). The compounds were prepared by melt intercalation using a twin extruder. The morphology of the composites was investigated through wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). The WAXD results suggested that exfoliation phenomena were found for the composites with modified clay. The thermal properties of the obtained composites were studied by means differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG) measurements. A variation in the crystallinity of PP was found. A significant increase of the thermal stability of PP was achieved in the presence of the modified VMT.
