Application of calcium montmorillonite on flame resistance, thermal stability and interfacial adhesion in polystyrene nanocomposites

Abstract: To exploit the application of calcium montmorillonite (CaMt) and improve the flame resistance of polystyrene (PS), two kinds of long carbon chain quaternary ammonium bromides with different spatial effect (i.e., cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and didodecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide (DDAB)) were used to intercalate CaMt for yielding corresponding organic calcium montmorillonite (CaOMt). The PS nanocomposites containing CaOMt (PS/CaOMt) were prepared by melt blending method. The effects of CaOMt on flame… Show more

“…The modification of MMT improved the mechanical properties of the nanocomposites, such as tensile strength, Young's modulus, and elongation at break, by up to 32%, 30%, and 18%, respectively, compared to the unmodified MMT/PS nanocomposite. The increases were related to the exceptional dispersion of DDAB-modified MMTs in the PS matrix and the remarkable adhesion between the modified MMTs and the PS [32]. Moreover, the degradation temperature of the nanocomposites also increased by up to 7.1%, possibly because DDAB, with two long alkyl chains, could provide outstanding thermal stability [32].…”

Moreover, the degradation temperature of the nanocomposites also increased by up to 7.1%, possibly because DDAB, with two long alkyl chains, could provide outstanding thermal stability [32]. Table 8 clearly displays that the modification of inorganic and organic nanofillers by cationic surfactants has improved the mechanico-thermal properties of the prepared polymer nanocomposites, regardless of the type of the cationic surfactant.…”

“…Interestingly, natural MMTs deposits always consist of MMTs-Ca or MMT-Ca/MMT-Na mixtures (the latter mineral does not occur alone). Features of polystyrene filled with a MMT-Ca were analysed in [ 23 ], however, this raw clay was not tested in polyolefins. Considering the relatively positive influence of the clays on flammability limitation of a few thermoplastic polymers as well as the above-mentioned disadvantages of OMMTs, it seems to be interesting to investigate PE composites with a high content of MMTs-Ca.…”
