Mechanical Properties of Unsaturated Polyester / Montmorillonite Composites

Abstract: Nanocomposites composed of unsaturated polyester matrix and organically modified clay filler were prepared. After the synthesis, XRD patterns showed that the interlayer spacing expanded from 1.25 nm to 4.5 nm. The mechanical properties of the nanocomposites were determined and it was found that adding only 3 w/w % organically modified clay improved the flexural modulus of unsaturated polyester by 35%. From DSC diagrams, it was found that Tg values of the nanocomposites also increased with the clay content. It … Show more

“…However, Na-MMT of 5% decreased T g because excessing Na-MMT reduced the crosslinking between matrix polymer and MMT. Other researchers reported the reduced T g plastic polymer based on polyester because of the crosslinking between MMT and plasticized PLA matrix [22]. Surprisingly, the melting temperature of plasticized PLA/Na-MMT remained stable at about 167°C.…”

“…The increase in the Tg of the nanocomposites can be attributed to the high degree of adhesion between the polymer and graphene nanoparticles. The nano-size of the graphene would restrict movement near the organic-inorganic interface [31].…”

“…All tests were carried out by temperature sweep method (temperature ramp from 30 C to 130 C at 5 C min À1 ) at a constant frequency of 1 Hz. The temperature applied was within the range used by Jawahar and Balasubramanian 54 and Inceogul and Yilmazer 55 The maximum force of DMA was 10 N and applied during all DMA tests. SEM analysis using a FEI Quanta 200 was carried out of the fractured surfaces of tensile specimens to evaluate the fracture modes in the samples.…”
