In order to suppress a repulsive interfacial energy between hydrophilic clay and hydrophobic polymer matrix in preparing a polymer/clay nanocomposite, a third component of amphiphilic nature such as poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) (PCL) was introduced into the model system of styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers (SAN)/Na-montmorillonite. Once $\varepsilon$-caprolactone was polymerized in the presence of Na-rnontmorillonite, the successful ring-opening polymerization of $\varepsilon$-caprolactone and the well-developed exfoliated structure of PCL/Na-montmorillonite mixture were confirmed, Thereafter, SAN was melt-mixed with PCL/Na-montmorillonite nanocomposite, which resulted in that SAN matrix and PCL fraction were completely miscible to form homogeneous mixture with retention of the exfoliated state of Na-montmorillonite, exhibiting that PCL effectively stabilizes the repulsive polymer/clay interface and contributes the improvement of mechanical properties of the nanocomposites.

As the preliminary works for the preparation of exfoliated nanocomposites by reactive extrusion (REX) the modified anionic polymerization proceeded in a flask using an $\varepsilon$-caprolactam, catalyst, initiator, and clay. Polymerization methods were classified with a variation of the clay adding time. Intercalations mechanism of clay layers was investigated by measuring the WAXD peaks of clay with polymerization. In the preparation of nanocomposites, the molecular weight of nylon 6 was affected by the clay content. From the mechanical property measurement, improved properties were obtained in comparison to the neat nylon 6, and these properties were also affected by the molecular weight.

본 연구에서는 복합막의 물성향상을 위해 clay를 도입한 polysulfone 나노섬유 복합막을 제조하였다. Polysulfone/clay 복합막은 clay가 들어간 N,N-dimethyl acetamide와 acetone 혼합용매에 polysulfone을 첨가한 후 전기방사법을 이용하여 제조하였으며, 제조된 나노섬유 복합막은 적층수를 변화해 기공크기를 조절한 후 사용하였다. 전반적인 분리막의 특성은 SEM, contact angle, 기공특성, tensile strength, water flux 분석을 사용하여 고찰하였다. 특히 SEM image로 clay의 도입을 확인하였으며 contact angle 측정을 통해 표면이 개질된 결과를 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 clay의 도입량에 따른 복합막의 기계적 물성을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제조된 분리막은 수처리용 분리막으로 충분히 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Clay의 표면을 bis[(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)tetra sulfide (TSS)으로 처리하면 clay 표면의 소수성이 증가 될 뿐만 아니라 high temperature vulcanization 형 silicone rubber(HTV)와 화학적 반응이 가능하기 때문에 clay와 silicone rubber 사이의 상용성이 향상될 수 있을 것으로 예상되어 TSS를 이용하여 Na-MMT와 Fe-MMT의 silicate 층 표면에 tetra sulfide 그룹을 도입시킨 Na-$MMTS_4$와 Fe-$MMTS_4$를 각각 제작하였다. 이들 clay를 HTV silicone rubber와 compounding하여 silicone rubber/clay composites를 제작하였으며, clay의 종류 및 표면개질에 따른 silicone rubber 복합체의 열적안정성 및 기계적 물성을 평가하였다.

Polypropylene short fiber (PP)-clay particulate-epoxy ternary composites were prepared by reinforcing PP short fiber and clay particles in the range of 0.1 phr to 0.7 phr into epoxy resin. Prepared hybrid composites were characterized for their mechanical, thermal and flame retardant properties. The obtained results indicated an increase in impact resistance, tensile strength, flexural strength and Young's modulus to an extent (up to 0.5 phr clay and 0.5 phr PP short fiber) and then decreases as the reinforcing phases are further increased. The thermal stability of these materials are found to increase up to 0.2 phr clay and 0.2 phr PP addition, beyond which it is decreased. Addition of clay is found to have the negative effect on epoxy-PP short fiber composites, which is evident from the comparison of mechanical and thermal properties of epoxy-0.5 phr PP short fiber composite and epoxy-0.5 phr PP short fiber-0.5 phr clay composite hybrid. UL-94 tests conducted on the composite hybrids have showed a reduction in the burning rate. Morphological observations indicated a greater fiber pull with the addition of clay. The performed tests in the present study indicated that materials under investigation have promising applications in construction, agriculture and decorative purposes.

This study deals with development of new bio-based polymeric materials from epoxidized soybean oil (ESO). The curing of ESO in the presence of organophilic montmorillonite produced an oil polymer-clay nanocomposite ("green nanocomposite") showing flexible property. A green nanocomposite (oil polymer-silica nanocomposite) coatings were synthesized by an acidcatalyzed curing of ESO with 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane. The curing of ESO in the presence of a biodegradable plastic, poly(caprolactone), produced a composite with semi-IPN structure. The mechanical properties of the composite was much superior to those of polyESO. These new oil-based materials have large potential for applications in various fields.

Composite films were prepared with soy protein isolate (SPI) and various clay minerals by casting from polymer and clay water suspension. Effects of clay minerals on film thickness, moisture content (MC), tensile strength (TS), elongation at break (E), water vapor permeability (WVP), and water solubility (WS) were tested. Properties including thickness, surface smoothness, and homogeneity of films prepared with organically modified montmorillonite (O-MMT), Wamok clay (W-clay), bentonite, talc powder, and zeolite were comparable to those of control SPI films. TS increased significantly (p<0.05) in films prepared with O-MMT and bentonite, while WVP decreased significantly (p<0.05) in bentonite-added films. WS of most nanocomposite films decreased significantly (p<0.05).

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.

We investigated the rheological behaviors and orientation of three different types of layered silicate composite systems under external flow: microcomposite, intercalated and exfoliated nanocomposites. Rheological measurements under shear and uniaxial extensional flows, two-dimensional, small-angle X-ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy were conducted to investigate the properties, as well as nano- and micro-structural changes, of polymer/layered silicate nanocomposites. The preferred orientation of the silicate layers to the flow direction was observed under uniaxial extensional flow for both intercalated and exfoliated systems, while the strain hardening behavior was observed only in the exfoliated systems. The degree of compatibility between the polymer matrix and clay determined the microstructure of polymer/clay composites, strain hardening behavior and spatial orientation of the clays under extensional flow.

In this wort, the $Na^+-MMT$ has organically modified with silane intercalant to prepare the polymer/clay nanocomposites. The pH. X-ray diffraction (XRD), and contact angles were used to analyze the surface properties of clay and the exfoliation phenomenon of clay interlayer, The mechanical interfacial properties of epoxy/clay nanocomposites were investigated by three-point bending test. From the experimental results. the surface modification made by silane intercalant on clay surface leads to an increase of distance of silicate layers, surface acid value. and electron acceptor parameter of organoclay. The treatments are also necessary and useful for epoxy to intercalate into the interlayer by interacting of electron donor-accepter between basic epoxy and clay surface. The mechanical interfacial properties of the nanocomposites was improved by the presence of dispersed clay nanolayer containing low content of organoclay in comparison with the conventional, which increase the interfacial adhesion between dispersed clay and epoxy resins.
