Synthesis and barrier properties of poly(ε‐caprolactone)‐layered silicate nanocomposites
Abstract
A new polymer‐ceramic nanocomposite has been synthesized consisting of well‐dispersed, two‐dimensional layers of an organically modified mica‐type silicate (MTS) within a degradable poly(ε‐caprolactone) matrix. A protonated amino acid derivative of MTS was used to promote delamination/dispersion of the host layers and initiate ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone monomer, resulting in poly(ε‐caprolactone) chains that are ionically bound to the silicate layers. The polymer chains can be released from the silicate surface by a reverse ion‐exchange reaction and were shown to be spectroscopically similar to pure poly(ε‐caprolactone). Thick films of the polymer nanocomposite exhibit a significant reduction in water vapor permeability that shows a linear dependence on silicate content. The permeability of nanocomposite containing as low as 4.8% silicate by volume was reduced by nearly an order of magnitude compared to pure poly(ε‐caprolactone). © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
