Organo-montmorillonite (OMMT) has attracted much attention for fiber-reinforced polymer composites as a filler material due to high aspect ratio and low charge density. The present study focused on the fabrication of nanocomposites using Vinyl ester and Jute fabric as matrix and reinforcement respectively. The OMMT was uniformly dispersed in vinyl ester resin at 1, 2 and 3 wt%, loading through high speed mechanical stirrer at room temperature and further nanocomposites were manufactured through vacuum assisted resin infusion (VARI) technique. Effects of OMMT on the mechanical properties of vinyl ester/Jute composites were carefully investigated through tensile, bending and Izod impact tests, which revealed significant improvement in mechanical properties. The morphology of the nanocomposites after tensile test was investigated by SEM which affirmed that OMMT filled nanocomposites has improved interactions with the host matrix than the pure composites. Based on the nature and flame retardancy mechanism, the OMMT slightly improved the flammability property which was clearly explained by horizontal burning test.

Poly(o-ethoxy)aniline (PEOA)/organoclay nanocomposite was prepared via a solvent intercalation using chloroform as a cosolvent with organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) clay. The PEOA initially synthesized from a chemical oxidation polymerization in an acidic condition at pH = 1 was intercalated into interlayers of the clay with $25\;wt{\%}$ clay content. Electrical conductivity of the PEOA/OMMT nano­composite was found to be controlled via the intercalating process. The synthesized PEOA/OMMT nano­composite was characterized via an XRD and a TGA, and then adopted as an electrorheological (ER) material. The PEOA/OMMT synthesized with controllable electrical conductivity without a dedoping pro­cess was found to show typical ER characteristics possessing a yield stress from both steady state and dynamic measurements under an applied electric field.

Poly(amic acid)(PAA), poly(o-hydroxyamide)(PHA) 및 층상형인 유기화 점토를 블렌딩하여 나노복합재료 필름을 제조하였다. PAA/PHA 나노복합재료들의 모폴로지를 연구하기 위해 XRD, SEM 그리고 TEM을 사용하였으 며 DMA, TGA, UTM, LOI 및 PCFC를 이용하여 나노복합재료들의 기계적, 열적 성질 및 난연성을 조사하였다. 유기화 점토는 PAA/PHA 매트릭스에 잘 분산되어 박리 및 삽입형 모폴로지를 보였다. PAA/PHA 블렌드에 3 wt% 유기 화 점토를 첨가함으로써 PAA/PHA 블렌드의 초기 모듈러스가 약 48% 향상된 3.68 GPa까지 증가하였다. 유기화 점토 함량이 4 wt% 이상에서는 초기 모듈러스와 인장강도가 모두 감소하였는데 이는 PAA/PHA 매트릭스에 대한 유기화 점토의 뭉침 현상 때문인 것으로 유추된다. 유기화 점토의 함량이 3 wt% 이하일 때 PAA/PHA 나노복합재료들의 열 안정성 및 난연 특성들은 유기화 점토의 함량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다.

Objectives: This study was designed to find the effect of Oriental medicine music therapy (OMMT) on elementary school children's concentration. Methods & Results: OMMT as a study tool has several programs, including playing the musical instruments and listening to the music. The measurement tools of the study were Harris & Harris' grid and visual analogue scale (VAS) for overall condition. As a result, the score of Harris & Harris' grid increased from $12.94{\pm}8.20$ to $15.24{\pm}8.74$ (P=0.032) and VAS for overall condition increased from $74.85{\pm}27.37$ to $92.35{\pm}24.10$ (P=0.002) Conclusions: This case series showed that OMMT might be an effective treatment to improve elementary school children's concentration.

With poly (ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) ionomer (i.e. Surlyn) as a compatibilizer, PP/organoclay (Cloisite(R)20A) nanocomposites were prepared via melt compounding in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. For comparison, the widely used PP-g-MA was also used as a reference. The content of organoclay was fixed at 5phr based on the total weight of polymer resins. The structures of nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, rheometry in small amplitude oscillatory shear, SEM, and TEM, respectively. It was found that PP/Surlyn/OMMT nanocomposites displayed higher intercalation degree and better dispersion effect than the corresponding PP/PP-g-MA/OMMT counterpart. Additionally, their mechanical properties and wettability were measured.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of application of microwave energy for the fabrication of polymer/clay nanocomposite. APES/Clay nanocomposites were prepared at $130^{\circ}C$ for 30min with various amount of MMT or OMMT used the melt-intercalation method applied the classical and microwave heating source. APES/Clay samples were characterized by the means of X-ray diffractometry (XRD), transmitted electron microscopy (TEM) differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and rheometric dynamic analysis (RDA). It was found that intercalated or exfoliated state of the samples could be controlled by the clay type, clay content, and heating type.
