Partially exfoliated poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) / montmorillonite clay nanocomposite was synthesized via the free radical polymerization of MMA in the presence of alkyl ammonium substituted polysilsesquioxane surfactant-modified clay and AIBN initiator in supercritical CO2. MMT clay was initially cation exchanged with the surfactant to enhance its hydrophobicity and to expand the interla...

Current work aims to study the mechanical and dynamical properties of non-woven bamboo (B)/woven kenaf (K)/epoxy (E) hybrid composites filled with nanoclay. The nanoclay-filled BK/E were prepared by dispersing 1 wt.% nanoclay (organically-modified montmorillonite (MMT; OMMT), (MMT), halloysite nanotube (HNT)) high shear speed homogenizer followed hand lay-up fabrication technique. effect adding...

A composite material prepared from municipal solid waste-derived biochar and montmorillonite (MSW-BC-MMT) was studied as a remediation medium for the removal of oxytetracycline (OTC) aqueous systems. The morphological characterization using SEM images revealed that had heterogeneous flaky, plate-like surface appearance. Based on N2 adsorption experiments compared to pristine biochar, showed an ...

In this study, the montmorillonite (MMT) clay was modified with NH4Cl, and then structures were exfoliated or intercalated in a polylactic acid (PLA) matrix by torque rheometer ratio of 0.5, 3.0, 5.0 8.0 wt%. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that organic modified-MMT(OMMT) distributed successfully PLA matrix. After thermal pressing, stability mixed composites measured TGA. The also blended OMMT...

[ Manufacture and Characterization of Biodegradable Plastics from Corn Stem Waste (Zea Mays L.) with Montmorillonite] Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan isolasi terhadap selulosa yang terdapat pada limbah batang jagung. Prosedur dilakukan menggunakan tiga variasi berbeda mendapatkan prosedur mana paling baik dalam menghasilkan lalu dibuktikan dengan uji FTIR. Variasi terbaik digunakan pem...

Conducting polymers, because of their special properties, are used to introduce conductive polymeric composites. Also, clays have recently been used for preparation of polymer composites with enhanced mechanical and thermal properties. The aim of this work is to study the synergetic effect of the co-presence of conducting polyaniline and montmorillonite in the polyethylene matrix. Polyethylene ...
