Structure−Property Relationship in Biodegradable Poly(butylene succinate)/Layered Silicate Nanocomposites

Sinha Ray, Suprakas, Okamoto, Kazuaki, Okamoto, Masami·2003·Macromolecules

Abstract

Understanding the structure−property relationship in polymer/layered silicate nanocomposites is of fundamental importance in designing materials with desired properties. To understand these relations in the case of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS)/organically modified layered silicate (OMLS) nanocomposites, we studied the rheological properties of these materials in detail, because the rheological behavior of polymer/OMLS nanocomposites is strongly influenced by their nanostructure and the interfacial characteristics. For this reason, a series of PBS/OMLS nanocomposites were prepared using a simple melt intercalation technique. Two different types of OMLS, montmorillonite (mmt) modified with octadecylammonium chloride and saponite (sap) modified with quaternary hexadecyl tri- n -butylphosphonium bromide, were used for the nanocomposite preparations. The structure of nanocomposites in the nanometer scale was characterized using wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) analyses and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations. A flocculated structure has a strong effect on mechanical properties (both in solid and melts) and various other materials properties.

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.
