Abstract

Summary: A new route for fabricating polymer nanocomposites is proposed which combines in situ bubble‐stretching and reactive compatibilization techniques. That is, a polymeric foaming agent p‐vinylphenylsulfonylhydrazide was synthesized and grafted onto nano‐SiO~2~. Then, the grafted nanoparticles were melt mixed with matrix PP. In the meantime, some of the side sulfonyl hydrazide groups on the grafted polymer were gasified to form polymer bubbles, leading to rapid inflation of the surrounding matrix that pulled apart the agglomerated nanoparticles, while the remaining non‐decomposed sulfonyl hydrazide groups reacted with the epoxide groups of PGMA‐grafted PP forming chemical bonds. Owing to the simultaneously improved dispersion of the nanoparticles and the interfacial interaction, the mechanical properties, especially notched impact strength, of the nano‐SiO~2~/PP composites were greatly enhanced. The structure‐property relationship was carefully studied.

Simultaneous improvement of dispersion nanoparticles and interfacial interaction.

Inclusion compounds (ICs) can be formed between small-molecule hosts and guest polymers, where the crystalline host lattice confines the guest polymers to occupy narrow cylindrical channels. The included polymers are highly extended by the narrow channel diameters and are separated from neighboring
