Influence of thermally induced, dehydroxylated nanoclay on polymer nanocomposites
This work reports a novel approach towards a chemical-free treatment of nanoclay through extensive thermal exposure. Dehydroxylation at high temperature was utilized to enhance the influence of nanoclay on the properties of polymer. The effect of this treatment of nanoclay, on the polymer properties, with reference to Polypropylene (PP) has been investigated. The FTIR spectra revealed the successful removal of water from the intergallery spacing of the nanoclay. The maintained structural configuration of the clay was confirmed using WAXD pattern. The uniform dispersion and exfoliation of thermally treated clay layers inside the polymer matrix was confirmed through enhanced mechanical properties. Improved crystallization properties, thermal stability and flame retardant characteristic were also noticed in the nanocomposites reinforced with thermally dehydroxylated clay. This study revealed that the dehydroxylation approach of modification of nanoclay may provide much enhanced properties of polymer, without involvement of any chemical for modification.
