Effect of attapulgite on the crystallization behavior and mechanical properties of poly(butylene succinate) nanocomposites

Structure and properties of biodegradable wheat gluten/attapulgite nanocomposite sheets

“…The trends ascribe to the addition of the stiffness and rod-like ATP. The similar phenomenon also occurred in the Young's moduli of PBS/ATP nanocomposites because of the high stiffness of ATP particle [15].…”

Thermal stability and fire reaction of poly(butylene succinate) nanocomposites using natural clays and FR additives

“…Various kinds of nanoparticles have been incorporated in PBS such as organomodified clays, layered double hydroxides, silica, attapulgite, multiwall carbon nanotubes, and graphene . In most studies, nanoparticles have been processed in the polymer matrix as additive components.…”

“…4 Now, PBS can be produced from biobased succinic acid and butane diol to reduce the environmental footprint of its composites. 5 Various kinds of nanoparticles have been incorporated in PBS such as organomodified clays, [6][7][8][9][10][11] layered double hydroxides, 12,13 silica, [14][15][16][17] attapulgite, 18 multiwall carbon nanotubes, 19,20 and graphene. 21 In most studies, nanoparticles have been processed in the polymer matrix as additive components.…”

Molecular dynamics simulation on interacting and mechanical properties of polylactic acid and attapulgite(100) surface

“…[5][6][7][8][9][10] At present, attapulgite, as polymer additive, has attracted wide attention all over the world. 13 The attapulgite enhance mechanical properties of polyurethane, reinforce its shape-memory and decrease glass transition temperature and hardness due to the presence of moisture as well as the clay's structure and surface hydroxyl groups. 11 Compared with neat polyamide 6 (PA6), tensile strength of attapulgite (ATB)/PA6 composites reaches a maximum value with incorporation of 4 wt % ATB and bending strength reaches a maximum value with incorporation of 2 wt % attapulgite.…”
