✦ Synopsis
Polystyrene-clay hybrids (PSCHs) were prepared by melt blending a styrene vinyloxazoline copolymer with organophilic clay. In the PSCHs, the silicate layers of the clay were delaminated and dispersed homogeneously to the nanometer level. The moduli of the PSCHs were higher than that of the PS copolymer. For example, the tensile modulus of the PSCH with 5 wt % clay was 1.4 times higher compared to that of the PS copolymer.

Polypropylene-clay hybrids (PPCH) were prepared using a maleic anhydride-modified PP oligomer (PP-MA) as a compatibilizer. PP was melt-blended with organophilic clay which was intercalated with PP-MA. In these PPCHs, the particles of silicate layers were dispersed at the nanometer level. The particl
Polyimide-clay hybrid films with four different sizes of clay minerals have been synthesized to investigate the effect of the size of clay minerals to the properties of the hybrids. Hectrite, saponite, montmorillonite, and synthetic mica were used as clay minerals. Those clays consist of stacked sil
A new type of hybrid material of clay with poly (butyl acrylate) (PBA) has been prepared successfully using intercalation-polymerization process. The structure of the composite was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), and
