Synthesis and characterization of linseed oil‐based nanocomposites

Abstract

The nanocomposites from conjugated linseed oil, acrylic acid, and divinylbenzene are synthesized using modified montmorillonite clay and characterized for thermal properties. The wide angle X‐ray diffraction results clearly show the distortion of the platy nanolayers of the nanofiller in the polymer matrix as the peak due to the clay disappears in the nanocomposite samples. The dynamic mechanical analysis results show the enhanced storage modulus and transition temperature compared with the pristine polymer. At the glass transition temperature, the storage modulus of nanocomposites is in the range of 17–79 MPa, whereas the pristine polymer shows a storage modulus of 2.1 MPa. The melting peak temperature ranges from 230 to 260°C, which is further confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results. The samples are stable up to 200°C and show a two‐stage degradation.

Development of linseed oil–TiO2green nanocomposites as antimicrobial coatings

“…This explains that the increase in the degradation temperatures is significantly more pronounced at high nanoparticle loadings. Similar behaviour has been reported for LO-based composites filled with nanoclay 37 or POSS. 38 Char formation during combustion prevents the evolution of combustible gases and smoke, reduces the exothermicity due to pyrolysis reactions, and in turn, retards the flammability of the materials.…”

Flexible Bionanocomposites from Epoxidized Hemp Seed Oil Thermosetting Resin Reinforced with Halloysite Nanotubes

“…An analogous thermal stability improvement has been reported for clay-reinforced M. ferrea L. seed oil, modified clay/linseed oil, and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)/linseed oil nanocomposites …”

Physical, Mechanical, Morphological, and Barrier Properties of Elephant Foot Yam Starch, Whey Protein Concentrate and psyllium Husk Based Composite Biodegradable Films

“…The single endothermic peak has been associated with the melting of crystalline starch domains reorganized during reterogradation which indicates the miscibility of components as well as homogeneity of films [36]. Sharma and Singh [37] also observed single T g in sesame protein and all composite films indicating good compatibility of sesame protein with glycerol and gum rosin owing to crosslinkages developed between these components. The onset temperature and the melting temperature of elephant foot yam films were shifted to higher values with increase in starch concentration.…”
