摘要
Poly(ether sulfone) (PES)-toughened epoxy clay ternary nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending of PES with diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A epoxy resin along with Cloisite 30B followed by curing with 4,4'-diaminodiphenylsulfone. The effect of organoclay and thermoplastic on the fracture toughness, permeability, viscoelasticity and thermomechanical properties of the epoxy system was investigated. A significant improvement in fracture toughness and modulus with reduced coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and gas permeability were observed with the addition of thermoplastic and clay to the epoxy system. Scanning electron microscopy of fracture-failed specimens revealed crack path deflection and ductile fracture without phase separation. Oxygen gas permeability was reduced by 57% and fracture toughness was increased by 66% with the incorporation of 5 phr clay and 5 phr thermoplastic into the epoxy system. Optical transparency was retained even with high clay content. The addition of thermoplastic and organoclay to the epoxy system had a synergic effect on fracture toughness, modulus, CTE and barrier properties. Planetary ball-milled samples gave exfoliated morphology with better thermomechanical properties compared to ultrasonicated samples with intercalated morphology. (C) 2010 Society of Chemical Industry
