Abstract:The approach of processing reactive functional nanofillers into thermoplastic copolyester (TPE-E) using reactive extrusion (REX) has been explored. The mixing of a hydroxyl-bearing organo-fluoromica combined in toluene with a tetraglycidyl-4,4diamino-diphenylmethane (TGDDM) led to the intercalation of the TGDDM molecule into the interlayer space. Subsequent REX work involved processing TPE-E with 0.3% (w/w) TGDDM and 2% (w/w) organoclay in a twin-screw extruder. It is demonstrated that the effects of the modif… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
